Tandoori Cauli Wedges Recipes

GRILLED TANDOORI CAULIFLOWER WRAPS

Steps:

• Marinate the cauliflower: Combine the yogurt and vegetable oil in a large bowl. Stir in the ginger-garlic paste, tandoori masala, fenugreek, turmeric and garam masala and season with salt and pepper. Add the cauliflower and stir to coat thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate 2 hours or overnight.
• Meanwhile, make the raita: Combine the yogurt, cucumber, chaat masala, sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Make the mango slaw: Preheat a grill to medium high and oil the grates. Grill the mango and bell pepper, turning occasionally, until softened and charred, 6 to 8 minutes for the mango and 8 to 12 minutes for the bell pepper. Remove from the grill and thinly slice into matchsticks.
• Combine the jalapeño paste, curry leaves, ginger, cilantro, lime juice, sugar and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Add the mango and bell pepper and toss to combine.
• Increase the grill heat to high. Place the cauliflower florets on the hot grill, cover and cook 5 minutes. Uncover and cook, turning occasionally, until the cauliflower is tender and well marked, 5 to 8 more minutes. Remove the cauliflower from the grill and sprinkle with lemon juice and chaat masala.
• Serve the cauliflower on the naan. Top with the raita and mango slaw. Serve with lime wedges, if desired.
• Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar in a large bowl. Stir in the yogurt and melted butter with your hands or a wooden spoon until combined. If the dough is too dry, add water, about 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together (you may need up to 1/2 cup water).
• Knead the dough in the bowl until it bounces back when you press it, about 2 minutes. Divide the dough into 4 balls and let rest, covered, 30 minutes.
• Preheat a grill to medium high. Roll out each ball of dough until 1/8 inch thick. Generously oil the grill grates. Grill the naan until dry around the edges and charred, 30 seconds to 1 minute per side.

TANDOORI CAULI WEDGES

Steps:

• Mix the yogurt, ginger, garlic, spices, tomato purée and lemon juice in a bowl. Pull the outer leaves off the cauliflower, trim off the very bottom of the stalk, then cut into 8-12 wedges, 3-4cm thick. Blanch in a pan of simmering water for 3 mins. Drain, then leave to dry before tipping into a large bowl. Mix with the marinade, cover and leave in the fridge overnight.
• Make the chutney by blitzing all the ingredients in a blender or food processor until smooth. Loosen with 2-3 tbsp water if it seems too thick.
• Put the cauliflower directly on the barbecue grill. Cook for 7-10 mins on each side or until nicely charred and you can pierce the stalk easily. Alternatively, cook in a griddle pan, turning, over a high heat for the same amount of time. Drizzle with the chutney and scatter over the chopped red chilli.
