Method
- Heat the olive oil in a 5-quart Dutch oven over medium. Cook the onion with ½ tsp of the salt for 6 to 8 minutes, until soft and golden at the edges.
- Stir in the garlic, ginger and curry powder and cook 1 minute, stirring constantly, until the spices darken and smell toasted. Add the tomato paste and cook 2 minutes more, until it turns brick red and sticks a little.
- Add the cauliflower, chickpeas, crushed tomatoes, coconut milk, water and the remaining salt. Bring to a simmer, then cook partly covered over medium-low for 12 to 18 minutes, checking at 12, until a knife slides into the cauliflower but the florets still hold their shape.
- Cook the rice according to the package while the curry simmers.
- Fold in the spinach until just wilted, about 1 minute. Stir in the lime juice and add salt until the sauce tastes bright, not flat.
- Spoon over the rice and finish with cilantro.
