- 1 1/2 T. Curry Powder:
- 1 1/2 Garam Masala
- 1 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small head cauliflower
-2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions:
Combine spices in a bowl. Stir until well combined, set aside. Cut cauliflower into bite-size floret equalling 3-4 cups. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat and add minced garlic. Saute for 1 minute and then add cauliflower, 3 tablespoons of the curry powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and pinch red pepper flakes*. Stir until well combined and then add 1 cup coconut milk, 1 cup chicken broth and chickpeas. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and let cook for 20-30 minutes, adding more vegetable broth as need to keep a desired consistency. Serve with brown rice and favorite toppings.

*This dish is vegetarian but high on protein, because of the chickpeas. However, Alex said it would have been better with chicken. :-)
