Try my coriander baked cauliflower . The challenge here is to get the spice flavor into the whole head of cauliflower and not just on the top. The trick is to make a few cuts and get some marinade down between the florets. It is a good idea to boil water in a pot and boil the whole cauliflower head in water for 5 minutes, before marinating with spices and roasting in the oven. This will save you cooking time too.

A head of cauliflower
About 2-3 liters of water

1 tsp chili powder

1 tsp garam masala
2 tablespoons finely chopped coriander
Procedure:
- Bring water to a boil with salt and add the cauliflower head. The water must cover the entire head. Boil for 5 minutes.
- Mix all the ingredients for the marinade and spread well on the cauliflower. Make a few cuts and fill the head of cabbage with a little marinade, this will give you a more even taste.
