- Easy
- Serves 4
Ingredients
- 1 cauliflower, cut into large chunks
- ¼ tsp kashmiri chilli powder
For the marinade
- 2 tsp kashmiri chilli powder
- 1 tsp ginger & garlic paste
- ½ lime, juiced
- 1 tsp paprika powder
- ½ tsp turmeric powder
- 50g natural yogurt
- 1 tsp garam masala
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
To serve
- 4 tbsp natural yogurt
- green chutney
- 4 tbsp pomegranate seeds
- small pack coriander, roughly chopped
- 2 tbsp crispy fried shallots or onions
Method
- STEP 1
Sprinkle the cauliflower with the chilli powder. Put a steamer on the hob or place a colander in a pan with 5cm water in the bottom and steam the cauliflower for 5 mins until just tender.
- STEP 2
Blend all the marinade ingredients in a food processor, rub them over the cauliflower, then leave to marinate for 1 hr.
- STEP 3
Cook the cauliflower on a medium-hot barbecue with the lid on until cooked through (check by inserting a small knife into the stem), making sure the cauliflower doesn’t directly touch the flames and burn. (Or heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7 and cook on a baking tray for 10-15 mins until cooked through.)
- STEP 4
Put the cauliflower on a plate and coat all over with the yogurt. Zig-zag the green chutney over, then sprinkle the pomegranate seeds, coriander and fried shallots on top.
