Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add butter to hot pan. When melted, add ginger, garlic and spice mix and saute until fragrant, ~2 minutes. Add tomato paste and stir to combine with seasonings. Add stock, coconut milk and cauliflower. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until cauliflower is tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Add beans, frozen peas and potatoes to the pan and continue cooking until everything is heated through. Season with salt and pepper.

Squeeze lime juice over curry and season to taste with more salt, pepper and spices (remember different spices and stock have varying tastes, so you may need to adjust). Transfer to serving bowls. Serve with yogurt on top and naan on the side. Enjoy!
