Combine all the RED CURRY PASTE ingredients in a food processor and pulse until a paste is formed. Set aside.
Heat the peanut oil in a dutch oven over medium heat. Add the cauliflower, carrots, and ½ tsp salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.
Add the curry paste to the pot and stir to coat the vegetables. Pour in the coconut milk, increase heat to medium-high and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until vegetables are tender and sauce thickens, 20 to 25 minutes.
Stir in the fresh cilantro and season with salt & pepper to taste. Serve over steamed jasmine rice.
