Gulpea (Tomato & Cauliflower Curry)
• Keep cauliflower slightly firm for best texture, not mushy. • Tomato paste is the flavor base, so let it toast properly in oil before adding liquid. • Works well as a side dish or paired with lentils or chickpeas for a full meal. • Flavors deepen after resting and taste even better the next day. Health Benefits: Cauliflower provides fiber, vitamin C, and plant compounds that support immune and gut health. Tomatoes contribute lycopene and antioxidants that support heart health. Turmeric and onion add anti-inflammatory and prebiotic compounds, while olive oil supports absorption of fat-soluble nutrients. This dish is a simple, nutrient-dense vegetable curry that fits well into a balanced, plant-forward eating pattern.
