I am not a fan of spicy meals but I know lots of people are and for this reason I am sharing this recipe for cauliflower curry which has been created by Candida Diet Foods. Serve this curry with brown rice and side salad to create a healthy vegetarian dinner full of healing anti-inflammatory spices such as turmeric and ginger.
The curry does not contain any dairy products which makes is also suitable for vegans.

Instructions
- For the curry: Melt the coconut oil in a large saucepan set over medium heat until hot. Add the onion, garlic, ginger, and a pinch of salt, sweating for 6-7 minutes until soft and lightly coloured.
- Stir in the ground spices. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally until the oil starts to seep through the spices from beneath.
