Step 1

Make the crispy chickpeas: Preheat the oven to 400˚F (200˚C).

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the chickpeas, curry powder, garlic powder, onion powder, coriander, turmeric, and salt, and toss to coat the chickpeas. Transfer the chickpeas to a small baking sheet and spread in an even layer.

Step 6

Roast for 25 minutes, until browned and tender.

Step 7

Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of coconut oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and jalapeño, and cook until the onion begins to caramelize, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and continue to cook for 2 minutes more, until the garlic is toasted and fragrant.

Step 8

Add the curry paste and cook for 1 minute, stirring to dissolve. Add the coconut milk and vegetable broth and season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat.

Step 9

Add the roasted cauliflower to a blender with the broth and puree until smooth.
