Step 1:

Remove the outer leaves from the cauliflower.  

Step 2:

Mix together all the ingredients for the marinade and spread over the raw cauliflower.  

Step 3:

Roast in the pre-heated Dome at 200°C/392°F for 18-20 minutes or until tender all the way through when pierced with a knife. The exact cooking time will vary depending on the temperature of the oven and size of the cauliflower. 

Step 4:

For the curry, heat 1 tbsp/1.2 US tbsp coconut oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the cinnamon, fenugreek seeds and black mustard seeds.

Step 5:

Once the mustard seeds begin to crackle, add the onions and cook until they soften.

Step 6:

Add the garlic, curry leaves, chillies and Gorakha and cook for a further 3 minutes.    

Step 7:

Add the turmeric, mix well and stir in the coconut milk. Bring it to a gentle simmer and allow to thicken or thin down with some water. You want the curry to be the consistency of double cream.  

Step 8:

To serve, place the warm roasted cauliflower on a plate and pour the golden curry sauce all over. Garnish with chilli oil or fried curry leaves, if you like. Enjoy!
