Heat 1 tbsp of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cauliflower with a pinch of salt and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and charred on the edges. Remove the cauliflower from the skillet and set it aside.
Add the remaining 1 tbsp of olive oil to the skillet along with the onion. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, until softened and translucent. Stir in the ginger and garlic and cook for about 30 seconds.
Add the curry powder, coriander, and cumin to the skillet. Stir well and toast for 1 minute. Pour the diced tomatoes into the skillet along with the curry paste. Mix everything well and turn the heat down to medium.
Simmer until the excess moisture has cooked off from the tomatoes and the mixture has thickened, stirring occasionally, 5-10 minutes. Add the coconut milk and chickpeas. Continue to simmer and stir until the curry has reached your desired consistency. Stir in the peas and cook for 1-2 more minutes. Taste for salt and add more as needed
