  • Ginger-Garlic Paste - 2 tbsp
  • Tandoori Masala - 2 tbsp
  • Salt - to taste
  • Turmeric Powder - 1/4 tsp
  • Paprika - 1/4 tsp
  • Oil - 1 tbsp
  • Garnish-
  • Onions - 2 medium, sliced Oil - 1 tbsp
  • Coriander Powder - 1 tsp
  • Garam Masala - 1/2 tsp

  • Red Chili Powder - 1/4 tsp or to taste
  • Green Chilies - to taste, finely chopped (optional)
  • Salt - to taste
  • Mango Powder - 1 tsp (optional)
  • Cilantro - few sprigs, finely chopped
Directions
  • Hang the yogurt in a muslin/cotton cloth for about 30-40minutes.
  • Trim the Cauliflower and take off the leaves and excess stalk making sure the Cauliflower stays as one piece.
  • Wash the Cauliflower very well under running water or soak it in water for a while.
  • Put the Cauliflower into a zip lock/steaming bag.
  • Do not drain out all the water out of the cauliflower and close the zip lock only half way- leaving it open for the vent to escape.
  • Microwave on high 5-7 minutes (depending on the size cauliflower and the quality).
  • Keep an eye on the microwave because microwave cooking varies. the Cauliflower should feel soft yet firm on touch.
  • Once the Cauliflower is done, take it out of the bag carefully (it will be hot and the steam can burn).
  • Place gently on a platter that is oven-proof and can to used at the table as well.
  • Pour the ‘hung yogurt’ into a bowl and add in all the ingredients for the marinade and mix well.
  • Rub the marinade over the Cauliflower. Flip it as well as you want to let some marinade get into the stems.
  • Let the Cauliflower marinate for about an hour.
  • Place in the Cauliflower into the oven on broil on high.
  • It will take between 5-10 minutes for the cauliflower to get a good color (a few spots of brown on the top).
  • For the garnish, take a microwave safe dish and add in the onions and oil.
  • Mix well and microwave for 2 + 1 minute, stirring after 2 minutes.
  • Add in the rest of the garnish ingredients except for the cilantro and mix well.
  • Cook in the microwave for about 8 minutes mixing every 2 minutes.
  • Add in the cilantro and mix again.
  • Place the garnish on the platter around the cauliflower and serve.
  • Serves 8-10
