Step 1
Heat the oil in a saucepan. Add the onion and cook on a low heat for 10 minutes, stirring every now and then to stop it catching, until soft and translucent. Add the garlic, garam masala, cardamom, cauliflower and carrot. Increase the heat slightly and stir for 2 minutes. -
Step 2
Add the coconut milk, veg stock and season with salt and pepper. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the veg is tender. -
Step 3
Blitz in a food processor or blender until smooth, or if you're feeling lazy, it's fine to serve as it is, almost like a thin stew. Check the seasoning before serving, sprinkled with coriander leaves if you have any.
