Ingredients Serving: 6

1 large Cauliflower
1-2 tbsp Oil
Fresh Lime Juice to taste
Salt to taste
Spices Used:
1 tbsp Dhania/Coriander Powder
1 tsp Jeera/cumin seeds
1 - 2 tsp Red Chilli Powder (Adjust as per taste)
½ tsp Haldi/Turmeric Powder

Instructions

Pre-heat the oven at 180 deg C and place the rack in the centre of the oven.
Cut cauliflowers into medium sized florets and transfer them to a large vessel of boiling water, with turmeric powder and about a teaspoon of salt, for about 4-5 minutes.
Drain all the water and transfer the cauliflower florets to large mixing bowl.
Now add all the spices listed along with oil and salt to taste and mix them well so that every individual floret is coated with spices.
If you have time, let it marinate for 10-15 minutes so that cauliflower florets absorbs all the flavours of spices. You can completely skip this step if you are short of time and proceed to next step.
Line the baking sheet/tray with aluminium foil and arrange the cauliflower florets in single layer. Place the baking sheet/tray in mid rack and set the timer for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, take out the tray and gently turn over the florets and bake them again for 7-10 minutes. The florets should be well cooked and tender when pricked with a sharp knife or fork.
Transfer to serving bowl and drizzle freshly squeezed lime juice to taste. Garnish with coriander leaves, if desired, and serve this Spicy Gobi/Cauliflower Roast hot with any flavoured or plain rice or with any Indian flat breads and Dal.
