Tandoori Gobi

Ingredients

1 cauliflower head, cut into fairly large florets
2-3 tsp ginger-garlic paste
1 c thick yoghurt
1/2 egg lightly beaten
1/2-1 tsp red chilli powder
2 tsp each of coriander powder, garam masala, cumin powder
1/2 tsp caraway seeds crushed or 1/4 tsp oregano
1 tbsp finely chopped fresh coriander leaves (cilantro)
1 tbsp lemon juice
1-1 1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp oil + additional oil for grilling
chaat masala - for serving

Method

Parboil the cauliflower florets in salted water. Blanch them in a bowl of ice water to stop their cooking. Take them out and pat them dry. The cauliflower florets should be underdone.

Add the red chilli powder, coriander powder, garam masala, cumin powder, caraway seeds, coriander leaves, lemon juice, salt and oil to the yoghurt. Stir well, taste and adjust the seasoning.

Add the cauliflower to the yoghurt mixture. Add the egg and toss lightly. Leave to marinate in a bowl, covered in the fridge for 4-6 hrs.

Push the cauliflower florets onto bamboo skewers or place them individually on the grill rack. Grill for about 10-15 minutes or until cooked, brushing with marinade several times and lastly with oil. During grilling, turn the pieces occasionally.

Sprinkle chaat masala over the grilled cauliflower florets.
