You can find countless recipes for curry with cauliflower and chickpeas. This is not surprising, chickpea curry is incredibly delicious and becomes extra healthy with the addition of cauliflower. Most variants also happen to be vegetarian or vegan.

The differences between all recipes for curry are quite considerable, especially when you look at the ingredients . For some curry's, you have to buy quite a bit of spices. Because you cheat a bit with this recipe and use ready-made curry paste, this vegan thai curry is incredibly simple to make. The addition of some extra ingredients does make it a little more special.

I like to use full-fat coconut milk, but in the original recipe on minimalistbaker.com they use light coconut milk. So it can be done with both. The full-fat coconut milk gives a slightly creamier result, which pairs well with the cauliflower and chickpeas.

Serve with white rice. Garnish with some fresh cilantro and lime wedges if desired.
