QUINOA
Place the rinsed quinoa in a pot with 150ml of salted water. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the tails have popped out, 12-15 minutes. Remove from the heat and drain (if necessary). Set aside to steam, about 5 minutes.
TOAST
Place the coconut flakes in a pot over medium heat. Toast until golden, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pot and set aside.
PREP STEP
Return the pot to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced onion and the cauliflower pieces until starting to soften, 5-6 minutes (shifting occasionally).
CURRY
When the onion & cauli are slightly softened, add the curry paste to the pot. Fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Pour in the tomato passata, the coconut milk, and 100ml of water. Mix until combined. Simmer until reduced and slightly thickened, 10-12 minutes. In the final 2-3 minutes, add the drained beans, a sweetener (to taste), and seasoning.
