Ingredients

• 500 grams ground beef
• 1 head cauliflower
• 1 medium-sized yellow onion
• 3 pieces garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon (grated) ginger
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 200 milliliters coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon garam masala
• 0.5 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon pepper
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh cilantro
• 1 whole lime

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 2

Break the cauliflower into bite-sized florets and toss with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, 0.5 teaspoons of turmeric powder, a pinch of salt, and pepper.

Step 3

Spread the cauliflower on a baking sheet in an even layer and roast for 20-25 minutes, until golden and slightly crispy, stirring halfway through.

Step 4

While the cauliflower roasts, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or pan over medium heat.

Step 5

Finely dice the onion and add it to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 6

Mince the garlic and grate the ginger, then add both to the skillet. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 7

Stir in the ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric powder, garam masala, and chili powder. Cook for 1 minute to release the spices' aromas.

Step 8

Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until browned and fully cooked, about 8-10 minutes.

Step 9

Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1-2 minutes, ensuring the beef is evenly coated.

Step 10

Pour in the coconut milk, reduce the heat to low, and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 11

Once the cauliflower is ready, gently fold it into the skillet with the beef mixture.

Step 12

Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

Step 13

Garnish the dish with freshly chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice before serving.

Step 14

Serve hot with steamed rice, naan, or enjoy as a low-carb dish on its own.
