Recipe Of The Week: Kale and Coconut Curry

If you're not a fan of cauliflower, it's likely you've never tried it inside of a curry. While this white vegetable is virtually flavorless on its own, when seasoned properly and submerged in a delicious curry stew, it adds wonderful coarse texture (and some great nutrition) to dishes. In this recipe, kale leaves and red onions are mixed with a variety of spices – turmeric, mustard, coriander, cumin, ginger, cardamom – and then given a touch of creaminess from coconut milk. Serve this flavorful curry with some warm, fluffy naan.
