**Coconut Curry Cauliflower**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 head of cauliflower, cut into florets
– 1 can of coconut milk

– 1 teaspoon of cumin

4. Pour in the coconut milk, stirring to blend the spices and coconut milk together.
5. Add the cauliflower florets to the pan, ensuring they are coated in the creamy coconut curry sauce.
6. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let the cauliflower simmer in the sauce for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender but still slightly crisp. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
7. Season the dish with salt and pepper to taste. Feel free to adjust the seasoning and spice levels to suit your preference.
