Ingredients

• Cauliflower - 1 medium head (about 600g)
• Plain yogurt - 150g
• Lemon juice - 2 tablespoons
• Ginger paste - 1 teaspoon
• Garlic paste - 1 teaspoon
• Ground cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Ground coriander - 1 teaspoon
• Garam masala - 1 teaspoon
• Turmeric powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Red chili powder - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Vegetable oil - 1 tablespoon
• Fresh cilantro - for garnish

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F) or prepare a grill.
2. Cut the cauliflower into florets and set aside.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine the yogurt, lemon juice, ginger paste, garlic paste, ground cumin, ground coriander, garam masala, turmeric, red chili powder, and salt to create a marinade.
4. Add the cauliflower florets to the marinade and coat them well. Let it marinate for at least 20 minutes.
5. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and place the marinated cauliflower florets on it. Drizzle with vegetable oil.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until the cauliflower is tender and slightly charred. If using a grill, cook for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally.
