I’m just going to get right to the point here — this Cauliflower and Cashew Curry Recipe was amazing. AMAZING. The flavors blended together perfectly, and the heat was just right. Of course, you can always crank it up by adding more curry and/or sriracha sauce. I like my Indian food recipes spicy, so I added a bit more, but the recipe I posted is average heat.
The creamy, nutty-tasting curry coconut sauce makes a decadent dressing for the cauliflower, along with the toasted cashew pieces. This unique Weight Watchers cauliflower recipe is just 4 Points and makes a lovely and satisfying side dish recipe to accompany a variety of main dishes.
This Cauliflower and Cashew Curry Recipe has become one of my new favorite vegetable side dishes! Enjoy.

This was a fabulous recipe! I made the recipe as written and served it as a main dish with lentils. Everybody was surprised that they enjoyed a meatless meal so much. Thank you
Oooooo…I LOVE the idea of serving it with lentils! Thanks for sharing!
I added some chicken and put over rice for a delicious dinner :-) my fiancée loves spicy and this was just right! Thanks!
I thought this was delicious however I also had to modify it some as it was a little bland because of the light coconut milk and my decreasing the chili sauce and pepper flakes. However, once I added about a tsp of fresh ground ginger to it, that really amped up the flavor. Yummy! Thank you for posting this. Oh, and I served it over quinoa for a really filling protein packed lunch.
This looks so awesome! Not a fan of cashews, tho. But I’d serve this over rice or with some quinoa. Mmmm
I plan to serve it over rice and call it a main dish for meatless Monday!
What main dish would you serve with this?
I would do baked chicken breasts
