  • Garlic
  • Ginger
  • Green chili peppers
  • Red curry paste

Instructions

  1. Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. In a food processor, pulse the cauliflower into rice sized pieces, then set aside. In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger, sautéing until softened. Stir in red curry paste, green chili peppers, and a dash of salt to create the base for your Indonesian curry. Cook for 2 3 minutes. Add coconut milk to the pan, stirring well. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and let cook for 5 7 minutes. Incorporate your choice of fresh seafood or chicken into the curry sauce, gently cooking until opaque and cooked through. Add lime leaves to infuse extra flavor, cooking for another 2 minutes before turning off the heat. Finish by garnishing with coriander leaves and a drizzle of spicy coconut sauce, if desired.
