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

Units Scale
  • 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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Preheat your oven’s broiler on low setting. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly grease it with vegetable oil.
  4. Place the marinated cauliflower florets on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
