INGREDIENTS

• 1/2 Yellow onion, diced
• 2 cups Organic vegetable broth (divided) or water
• 1 1/2 Cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp Curry powder
• 1/2 tsp Garam masala
• 1/2 Pink Himalayan salt, divided

• 1/4 head Cauliflower (chopped into small florets)
• 1 1/2 cups Kale leave (stems removed, chopped)

DIRECTIONS

• In a pot over medium-high heat, sauté the onions with a bit of vegetable broth or water. Cook until browned, stirring, and adding more broth or water as needed to prevent the onions from sticking.
