Kids’ plate: Sweet Potato and Cauliflower Curry

On the plate: Tender cauliflower, sweet potato and carrot coated in a mild tamarind sauce, with the cilantro left off.

Make it a game: Make a little garden with cauliflower trees and sweet potato stepping stones. Pick a path across the plate at your own pace.

Set it aside at step 5, before the grown-ups’ sauce or spice goes on.

Why it works

  • Hashimoto's thyroiditis: Cauliflower, sweet potato and carrot simmer with tamarind, ginger and turmeric, without grains, legumes or dairy.
  • Gluten-free: The vegetables and single-ingredient tamarind paste make a gluten-free curry without grains or packaged sauce.
  • Anti-inflammatory: Olive oil, vegetables, ginger, turmeric and cilantro carry the flavour without added sugar.
  • Kid (4–12): Mild sweet potato, cauliflower and carrot are served in a familiar, tender curry.
  • Toddler (1–3): The portion has soft-cooked vegetables cut into small pieces, with gentle seasoning.
