Roasted Cauliflower Tikka

This lovely cauliflower dish makes a perfect side for curries, grilled meats, chicken and fish dishes.

I shared it on the same post as my  Coconut Beef Curry but I thought it deserves it's own little blog.

The cauliflower is simply coated in a yoghurt & a lemony Indian spice marinade then roasted ...so easy... I do hope you'll try it.



Roasted Cauliflower Tikka

This delicious side dish couldn't be easier to make

Ingredients:-

a large cauliflower leaves & stems removed and cut into bite sized florets

for the marinade:_
6 Tbsp  Greek Yoghurt
the zest & juice of 1 large lemon
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp hot chilli powder
½ tsp Turmeric
2 cloves of garlic crushed
1 tsp sea salt

a tsp or 2 of Garam Marsala or curry powder to sprinkle over before baking

Method 

In a large bowl mix all the marinade ingredients together
Add the cauliflower and mix well until it it's coated in the marinade
Transfer to an oven proof ceramic dish ( I used my Pyrex tray)
Sprinkle over with the Garam Marsala or curry powder

Heat the oven to 175c approx 350 f 

Bake for around 20-25 mins until the cauliflower is tender but still has a little bite and the top is beautifully golden

If you prefer your cauliflower soft with no bite then I  suggest you steam it for a couple of minutes then cool it thoroughly at stage 1 of the recipe.
