1 clean and dry medium Cauliflower head
1 heaped tbsp thick and creamy plain Greek Yogurt
1 tsp red chilly powder or paprika (or add to taste)
1/2 tsp ground black pepper (or add to taste)
1 tsp garlic powder (or paste)

1/2 tsp ground fennel (saunf powder)

Ghee or clarified butter to brush on the cauliflower

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a baking dish and keep ready. If you like, use an aluminium foil to line the baking dish for easy clean up – and grease the foil.
Pull back all extra leaves on the cauliflower head to get rid of them. Clean the head under running water and using an absorbing kitchen paper-towel, pat dry completely
Place the cauliflower head down on a cutting board. With a sharp knife, carefully make a “v-cut” to remove the central stem in the middle, taking care to not cut too deep or separate out the florets.
Turn the cauliflower head up. It should now be able to stand on the baking dish upright. Brush the cauliflower with ghee and sprinkle salt generously all over. Rub the ghee and salt on both sides of the cauliflower.
In a bowl and using a spoon, mix the ground spices with the yogurt. Brush and coat the cauliflower head all over with the spices mixture.
Place the baking dish with the cauliflower, on the lowest or middle rack inside the pre-heated oven.
Roast and bake at 375°F for 1.5 hours or until the cauliflower is roasted into a rich brown color head and is done. Try pricking into the cauliflower with a knife or food skewer. The tough central core should be tender and soft.
Take out the cauliflower head from the oven. Let it stand for 5 minutes to cool down just a bit. Carve and serve with your favorite bread, rice and gravy or side it with anything you love!
