Spicy South Indian Cauliflower Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Combine cauliflower florets, olive oil, hoisin sauce, Sriracha sauce, salt, and pepper in a large bowl; toss to combine. Spread out in a single layer on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cauliflower is soft and cooked through, about 30 minutes, turning once after 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a big pan or wok with a lid, then add the ginger and spices. Swirl everything around for a few secs until the spices are aromatic. Reduce the heat, then stir in the cauliflower and some seasoning. Put the lid on and cook for 10 mins or until softened, stirring occasionally. Sprinkle over the coriander before serving.

Steps:

• Place the cauliflower in a steaming basket above 1 inch boiling water. Cover and steam for 1 minute. Lift the lid and allow steam to escape for 15 seconds, then cover again and steam for 5 minutes, or until the cauliflower is just tender. Remove from the heat and refresh with cold water. Quarter the larger florets and set the cauliflower aside.
• Heat the oil in a large, heavy nonstick skillet or wok above medium heat. Add the ginger, cumin seeds and chiles and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the cauliflower and stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, ground coriander, cayenne, turmeric, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes, until the tomatoes have cooked down and the mixture is fragrant. Taste and adjust salt. Stir in the cilantro, stir for another 30 seconds, and serve, passing lime wedges for squeezing.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Cut off most of the cauliflower's stem and place the whole head in a baking dish.
• Heat two tablespoons of oil and turmeric together in a small frying pan. Brush the cauliflower head with the oil and turmeric mixture.
• Bake the cauliflower for 30 minutes.
• While the cauliflower is cooking heat two tablespoons of oil in a frying pan, mix in the minced onions and saute until the are a medium brown color. Add the pureed tomatoes, garlic powder, garam masala and salt. Let this mixture simmer for 10 minutes.
• Arrange lettuce leaves on a serving plate. Place the cauliflower on top of the lettuce. Pour the tomato curry over the cauliflower. Serve hot.
