Time 45m

Yield Four servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 small cauliflower (1 1/2 pounds), cored and stemmed
1/4 cup yogurt
3/4 inch fresh ginger ( 1/2 ounce), peeled and cut into chunks
2 large cloves of garlic ( 1/2 ounce), peeled
2 to 4 hot fresh green chilies
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons dried fenugreek leaves or mint leaves
1/4 teaspoon carom (ajwain) seeds, crushed, or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1/3 teaspoon turmeric (optional)
3 tablespoons chickpea flour or all-purpose flour
Vegetable oil for basting
Fresh coriander and lemon juice for garnish

Steps:

  • Process all the ingredients of the marinade in a blender or a food processor until they are liquefied.
  • Place the cauliflower in a shallow bowl. Spread the marinade over the cauliflower, pushing it into the spaces between the florets. Set aside for 15 minutes for the marinade to dry and adhere to the cauliflower.
  • Light and prepare a covered charcoal grill until white ash covers the coals and the heat subdues to a moderately hot level. Scatter presoaked grapevine cuttings over the coals. Lightly brush the racks with oil.
  • Dribble oil over the cauliflower and place it, stem side up, on the rack. Barbecue, covered, with the vents open, turning and basting three or four times, for 25 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender when pierced with a knife. Transfer the cauliflower to a heated serving platter, surround with fresh coriander and serve sprinkled with lemon juice.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover cauliflower. I had some roasted cauliflower in the fridge and I decided to try this recipe. It turned out great!

Overall, I thought this recipe was pretty good. The cauliflower was cooked well and the flavors were nice. However, I think it could have been better with a bit more spice.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for my taste. I prefer simpler recipes that don't require a lot of ingredients or steps.

I was a bit disappointed with this recipe. The cauliflower was bland and the spices didn't really come through.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but overall it was still enjoyable. I might try it again with less chili powder next time.

This tandoori cauliflower recipe was an absolute delight! The flavors were incredibly rich and complex, with the perfect balance of spices. The cauliflower florets were cooked to perfection, with a slight char that added an extra layer of flavor.
