2 tbsp olive oil
1 lemon, juiced

1 cup tomato puree (or 1 cup purée = 3 ripe tomatoes, diced, or one can of diced tomatoes) (also known as passata)

Toss the cauliflower florets with salt, black pepper, lemon juice and half of olive oil. Place the florets on a baking tray and of it goes into the oven.

After 10 minutes take out the sheet and turn over the florets so they won’t burn (Important!). Then roast for another 10 minutes.

Add finely chopped garlic, cumin, coriander seeds and red pepper flakes to the onion along with the curry powder and again saute for 30 seconds until aromatic.

If using fresh tomatoes then mash with a wooden spatula when tender.

Take out the roasted cauliflower from the oven and add it to the sauce mixture in the pan. You might want to a couple of dashes of water as well.

Cook on low heat for about 10 minutes then finally add some, peeled and grated ginger and fresh coriander. Serve with (soy) yogurt and enjoy hot.
