Vegan Roasted Cauliflower Chickpea Coconut Curry

There are so many recipes that we absolutely love and repeat because of how delicious they are and how much they fulfil our tastebuds in so many different ways, just like this Vegan Roasted Cauliflower Chickpea Coconut Curry!

Nearly five years ago now, I tried veganism for the whole month of January and I loved it! But of course living with family at the time who love their meat and not being able to cook for myself at times, I had to go with the flow of what was cooked but I have loved and will always love vegan recipes, they are absolutely delicious.

I used to make this Vegan Roasted Cauliflower Chickpea Coconut Curry before I got married and back then, my friends would come to my house to specially eat my homemade vegan food. In Turkey, Iran and the Middle Eastern culture, there are so many vegan dishes and recipes that are used on a day to day basis, like hummus and so many different salads.

This curry is made up of so many homely and healthy ingredients that are put together to give both delicious taste and a beautiful colourful dish to look at and fill your dinner table. Cauliflower florets together with chickpeas and a blend of spices give you a warming vegan curry that is both beneficial and fulfilling. Those two specific ingredients taste so incredible together!

The mix of spices I have used in this recipe are so aromatic and delicious, you will love this recipe and your family and friends will be wanting seconds and thirds :)

What each ingredient gives to this curry?

Each and every one of these ingredients play such a major role in taste and added colour to the mix...

Cauliflowers is one of the main and great additions to the Vegan Roasted Cauliflower Chickpea Coconut Curry by soaking up the flavour and add a unique great texture.

The coconut milk adds to the amazing flavour, giving it the overall liquid substance and sweetness.

Overall, the curry is perfect to make - weekends, weekdays and every evening! It's ready in less than 30 minutes and absolutely delicious :)
