- Cut the cauliflower into florets.
- Trim and chop the green beans into 1-inch pieces.

2. Cook the Aromatics:
- Lightly spray a large, deep skillet or a saucepan with cooking spray oil and heat over medium heat.
- Add the chopped red onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and chopped chili peppers, and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Add Spices:
- Stir in the ground cumin, dried coriander, and turmeric powder.
- Cook the spices with the aromatics for about 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
4. Add Vegetables:
- Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.
- Then add the cauliflower florets and mix well to coat the cauliflower with the spices and tomatoes.
5. Simmer the Curry:
- Pour in 1/2 cup of water and stir to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low.
- Cover the skillet and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the cauliflower starts to become tender.
6. Add Chickpeas and Green Beans:
- Stir in the drained chickpeas and the chopped green beans.
- Cover again and simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until all the vegetables are cooked through and the flavors have melded together.
7. Final Adjustments:
- Taste the curry and adjust the seasoning if needed. You can add a pinch of salt or a squeeze of lemon juice if desired.
8. Serve:
- Serve the curry hot, garnished with fresh coriander leaves if you like.
- This curry pairs well with steamed rice, naan, or a side of quinoa.

Tips:

- Use fresh, ripe cherry tomatoes for a richer flavor.

- For a milder curry, remove the seeds from the chili peppers before chopping.

- Add a splash of coconut milk for a creamier texture and richer taste.

- Serve the curry with steamed rice or warm naan bread to complete the meal.

- Garnish with fresh cilantro (coriander leaves) for an extra layer of flavor and a pop of color.
