Ingredients (serves 4):

For the falafel:

- 1/2 onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 2 tbsp olive oil

For the curry:

- 1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp grated ginger
- 1 tbsp curry powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp ground coriander
- 1/2 tsp turmeric
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 can coconut milk
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish

Instructions:

1. To make the falafel, combine the chickpeas, onion, garlic, parsley, cilantro, cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper in a food processor. Pulse until the mixture is well combined but still slightly chunky.
2. Add the flour and baking powder to the mixture and pulse again until well combined.
3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, form the falafel mixture into small balls and place them in the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
4. To make the curry, heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the cauliflower, onion, garlic, and ginger and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are slightly softened.
5. Add the curry powder, cumin, coriander, turmeric, and cayenne pepper to the pot and stir to combine.
6. Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the curry simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender.
7. Season the curry with salt and pepper, to taste.
8. To serve, spoon the curry into bowls and top with the falafel. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
