PrintTandoori Cauliflower
- Total Time: 3 hours 20 minutes
- Yield: 2 servings 1x
Description
Cauliflower florets marinated in flavorful Tandoori spices and broiled to perfection, resulting in a dish that’s crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Ingredients
- 2 cups medium cauliflower florets
- 1 cup Greek yoghurt (or dairy-free yoghurt for vegans)
- 2 tsp crushed ginger
- 2 tsp crushed garlic
- 1 1/2 tsp garam masala
- 1 tsp red chili powder or paprika
- 1/2 tsp turmeric
- Salt to taste
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
Instructions
- In a large ziplock bag, combine the Greek yoghurt, crushed ginger, crushed garlic, garam masala, red chili powder, turmeric, and salt. Mix well to form a marinade.
- Add the cauliflower florets to the bag, seal it, and shake to coat the florets evenly with the marinade. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours.
- Preheat your oven’s broiler on low setting. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly grease it with vegetable oil.
- Place the marinated cauliflower florets on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
- Broil the florets for about 20 minutes, turning them once halfway through, until they are golden and crispy on the outside but tender on the inside.
- Remove from the oven and serve hot as an appetizer or side dish.
Notes
For a vegan version, use dairy-free yoghurt in place of Greek yoghurt. Ensure the cauliflower florets are of medium size for even cooking. Serve with a side of mint chutney for added flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
