Aarti Paarti Episode 7: Roasted Cauliflower Steaks

The lowly cauliflower redeemed!

Cut 'em a different way, sprinkle 'em with cumin, coriander and amchur (dried mango powder), and roast 'em... serve with a limey-yoghurt sauce and you'll never think of cauliflower the same way!

Amchur is available at Indian supermarkets.

Ingredients:
3 medium cauliflower heads, stripped of leaves and stalk chopped off
1/3 cup olive oil
1/2 tsp cumin
1 tsp coriander powder
1 tsp amchur (dried mango powder)
salt and pepper
1 cup low fat greek yoghurt
zest from one lime
splash extra virgin olive oil

1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit/180 degrees celsius
2) Slice cauliflower down the middle, then slice as many 1-inch steaks as you can (you'll probably get two). Separate the rest into florets. Do the same with the other head of cauliflower.
3) Line a baking sheet with wax paper. Brush a little oil over the paper so the cauliflower doesn't stick
4) Place "steaks" and florets on the baking sheet.
5) In a small bowl, combine oil, cumin powder, coriander powder and mango powder with a generous sprinkle of salt and pepper. Brush over cauliflower with pastry brush. Drizzle over florets and toss to coat.
6) Roast for 20 minutes or until tender and crisped around the edges.
7) In another small bowl, combine yogurt with lime zest, a splash of extra virgin olive oil, salt, pepper and a squeeze of lime (as much as you like).
8) Serve steaks with a dollop of yogurt on the side. Eat and discover cauliflower's nutty, smoky goodness!

I have never been a huge fan of cauliflower, but I want to try this!! I think this is your best episode so far!!

[annabellyeo1]

Love this! And loved you on "The Next Food Network Star". You were always my favourite :)

Good idea about the cauliflower, but this woman is relentlessly annoying. Cute and fun? Not really. And how are you going to pass yourself off as an Indian food expert and not know how to pronounce "amchur" powder? Are you Indian or not? Decide.

Very enthusiastic cook...but she doesn't mention the temperature that the florets needs to be put on. Noticed a similar thing in one of the other videos...perhaps a little less talk and more focus.
