Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion, crushed garlic, and grated ginger for 5 minutes until the onion softens and turns translucent, stirring occasionally. Add coriander powder, cumin powder, garam masala, turmeric, and chili flakes; cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant, stirring frequently.

Stir in diced tomatoes, vegetable stock, cauliflower florets, chickpeas, coconut milk, and peas. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
