½–1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, depending how hot you like it

3. Divide the cauliflower into florets and add them to the pan with the coconut milk.

4. Put the lid on and simmer for around 8 minutes, or until soft.

5. Meanwhile, gently toast the cashew nuts in a dry frying pan.

6. Season to taste and add the nuts just before serving.

TIPS
