A slow cooked lentil cauliflower curry…
This lentil cauliflower curry came together so easily using what few ingredients I had on hand. But, it’s really all about the spices when it comes to curries. That and letting them simmer to develop more depth in their flavour profiles. So, although it may be simple to make, this recipe does take some time. It doesn’t require all that much work, but giving it time to let the flavour develop will take your curry from just okay to incredibly delicious. Serve on a bed of basmati rice or with a side of naan bread and enjoy!
