Heat 1-2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat in a large Dutch oven or heavy bottomed saucepan.
Add 1 chopped shallot, 1 tablespoon of ginger and 4 chopped garlic cloves. Reduce the heat to medium and cook while stirring frequently for about 3 minutes.

Lightly toast, while stirring for 1-2 minutes, to enhance the flavor of the spices.
Add 1 can of diced tomato and cook for 2 minutes. Add 1 can of coconut milk and stir to incorporate. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Add 1 head of cauliflower and 1 diced red bell pepper. Stir and cover. Simmer for 10-12 minutes over medium low heat until the cauliflower is just tender.
