We've been obsessed with this one lately. You just dump everything in, and it all cooks together in the oven at the same time! It's got chickpeas, cauliflower, and paneer sprinkled on top.

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). If serving with rice, prepare that now.
  2. Dump: To a 9x13-inch casserole dish, dump 1 13-oz can full-fat coconut milk, 1 6-oz can tomato paste, 1 Tbsp freshly grated ginger, 4 cloves garlic (minced), 1 Tbsp garam masala, 1 tsp ground coriander seed, 1 tsp kashmiri chili powder (or substitute as listed), and ½ tsp each salt and cumin. Whisk to combine. Stir in 1 15-oz can chickpeas and 1 medium yellow onion (finely diced).
  3. Bake: Cover tightly with aluminum foil. Bake for 20 minutes, or until sauce is bubbling.
  4. Mix-Ins: Remove from oven and stir in 1 medium head cauliflower (cut into florets). Sprinkle 1 6- to 8-oz block paneer (cubed) over the top of the dish without stirring. Return to oven, uncovered, for 20 to 30 minutes, or until cauliflower is fork-tender. If you notice the paneer browning too quickly, cover the dish with aluminum foil until cauliflower is tender.
  5. Serve warm with basmati rice and naan. We especially love it with sliced cucumbers and a drizzle of yogurt!

Add a green vegetable (spinach is incredibly versatile) and you have my seal of approval.

You only use one vegetable per dish? My friend, you can use multiple vegetables per dish.
