Cauliflower Curry

I could eat this Cauliflower Curry for lunch every day. I wouldn’t get tired of it for a long, long time.

Cauliflower is one of my favorite vegetables, and I love how it soaks up the flavors of different sauces. It’s like a little sponge.

A friend of mine recently told me about Trader Joe’s Curry Simmer Sauce. I gave it a try with cauliflower and lentils. It was too spicy for me, but it got me thinking.

This homemade red curry sauce is my toned-down version of that Trader Joe’s sauce. Lentils, cauliflower, and red pepper make a delicious combination here, but you can use any vegetables you like. I use Trader Joe’s curry powder, which is fairly mild. Feel free to increase the spices for a more fiery curry.
