Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions

1. Sauté the Aromatics

• Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat.
• Add the onion, garlic, and ginger.
• Sauté until fragrant and softened, about 3–4 minutes.

2. Cook the Vegetables

• Add the frozen cauliflower and green beans to the skillet.

• Sauté for another 2–3 minutes to toast the spices and coat the veggies.

3. Simmer the Curry

• Stir well and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
• Simmer uncovered for 12–15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the sauce thickens slightly.

4. Finish and Serve

• Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper to taste.
• Serve hot over rice and garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.

Serving & Pairing Ideas
