The Weeknight Savior: Healing Chickpea and Cauliflower Curry Recipe

When long-time client Chloe Steinberg isn’t busy with her new role as a mom or taking the venture capital world by storm, she is letting her creativity flow in the kitchen. A master of all things charcuterie, steak, cookies, and more, the Provenance Partner shares with us her favorite detoxifying concoction — Healing Chickpea and Cauliflower Curry. Paired with our Chile de Arbol Paste from the Wellness Shop, this cleansing dish is rich in spices that reduce inflammation and boost immunity.


This curry is perfect for a weeknight dinner when you want to wake up feeling amazing the next day. It is my go-to when I feel like cooking and my body needs a rest and a healthy dose of detox. 

Made with chickpeas, cauliflower, coconut milk, and a ton of anti-inflammatory spices, I typically serve it with a coconut oil and ginger brown rice, but it’s equally delicious over plain rice, cauliflower rice, quinoa or simply on its own. It gets better as it sits in the fridge and freezes well, so we often double the recipe. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

NOTES: Don’t be intimidated by the list of spices! The only essentials are curry powder and garam masala. The rest are additional anti-inflammatory, immune-boosting ingredients that further enhance the flavor. If you prefer curry to have a soupier texture, stir in an additional half cup of broth or water.
