Nutritional Benefits 

Although just a few, the following ingredients pack a punch of nutrients! 

Cauliflower 

Cauliflower is a powerhouse vegetable that’s low in calories but high in vitamins C, K, and B6. It’s also a fantastic source of fibre, which supports digestion and keeps you fuller for longer. As a cruciferous vegetable, it contains antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds that may support immune health and reduce inflammation. Plus, its versatility makes it a fantastic base for this curry, soaking up all those beautiful spices and creamy coconut flavours! 

White Beans 

Adding white beans to the mix not only boosts the dish’s protein content but also provides iron, folate, and magnesium—nutrients essential for energy production and muscle function. White beans are also high in fibre, which supports gut health and helps balance blood sugar. If you’re looking for a heartier dish, these beans do the job without adding any heaviness. 

Coconut Cream 

Coconut cream is what gives this curry its luscious texture and rich flavour. It’s high in healthy fats, particularly medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which are quickly metabolised by the body and may provide a quick source of energy. Additionally, coconut cream contains lauric acid, a fatty acid with potential antiviral and antibacterial properties, making it a lovely addition to your meals, especially during the colder months. 

Red Thai Curry Paste 

Spicy and aromatic, red Thai curry paste typically contains red chilli peppers, lemongrass, garlic, and ginger. These ingredients not only add depth of flavour but also pack a nutritional punch. Capsaicin in the chilli peppers may boost metabolism and enhance circulation, while ginger and garlic are well-known for their immune-boosting and anti-inflammatory benefits. 

If you don’t like this particular set of flavours feel free to experiment. If you really like spice, you might try the green Thai curry paste. If you’re a little more on the mild site you could certainly try
