Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1- inch ginger grated
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1 tsp paprika

Method
 

  1. Heat oil in a large pot and sauté onion until soft and slightly golden, like your best glow-up pic.
  2. Add garlic, ginger, and cumin seeds. Stir until aromatic and you're questioning your past takeout choices.
  3. Toss in turmeric and paprika. Mix well. Your kitchen now smells like you're emotionally stable.
  4. Add chopped tomatoes. Cook until they break down like you did during your last existential crisis.
  5. Stir in chickpeas and cauliflower florets. Give them a pep talk with your spoon.

  7. Finish with lemon juice and coriander. Taste. Adjust seasoning. Dramatically nod in approval.
