Method
- Heat the oil in a large pan over a medium heat. Fry the onion for 7 mins until starting to soften. Add the garlic and cook for a further 2 mins.
- Increase the heat and add the chillies, all the spices and the cauliflower florets. Fry for 5 mins, stirring frequently, then add the coconut milk and vegetable stock. Bring to a boil then reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 10 mins.
- Meanwhile, cook the rice to pack instructions.
- Once the cauliflower is tender, uncover the pan and add the mangetout. Cook for 3 mins to heat through, stirring regularly and mashing some of the cauliflower into the sauce to help it thicken slightly. Serve the curry with the cooked rice and a scattering of toasted cashew nuts and chopped coriander.
- Tip: You can pick out the whole dried chillies before serving if you prefer it slightly less spicy.
