   3. In a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat, heat the vegetable oil. Add the ginger and turmeric, and stir to obtain a paste. Then add the shallots, saute for a few minutes, until they are golden. Add 2 tablespoons of water and stir it around to deglaze the pan. When the water has evaporated, add the cauliflower and carrots and saute for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the coconut milk, lemon juice and cilantro. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for another 3 to 5 minutes, stirring well to coat all the vegetables. Serve warm with white rice.
