This is a gloriously delicious one-pot meal which I promise you will be adding to your meal rotation. Not only is it creamy, spicy, zesty and deeply satisfying, but it is also seriously nutritious! You can feel good about serving this one to yourself and your loved ones.
The cauliflower adds a good dose of Vitamin C & K and anti-inflammatory properties due to its antioxidant content. The lentils also add a great dose of fibre but also help create a wonderful creamy consistency. And of course, coconut milk! A perfect does of creamy goodness, providing you and your brain with those healthy fats you need!
