Cauliflower & Chickpea Coconut Curry
Indian-spiced cauliflower in a creamy coconut-tomato sauce, with a modest handful of chickpeas for texture. Chickpeas are higher in carbs than typical keto staples, so the portion is deliberately small (~25g per serving). Vegetarian; pairs well with extra cauliflower rice for a fuller bowl.
