Tandoori Spiced Cauliflower is a vibrant and aromatic dish featuring tender cauliflower florets marinated in a blend of traditional Indian spices and yogurt, then cooked to perfection. This delightful vegetarian barbecue dish is perfect for those looking for a flavorful and healthy option.

Ingredients

• Cauliflower - 1 medium head (about 500g)
• Plain yogurt - 120g
• Tandoori masala - 2 tablespoons
• Ginger - 1 tablespoon, grated
• Garlic - 1 tablespoon, minced
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
