- 2 Tablespoon Cornstarch
- ¼ Teaspoon Turmeric Powder or Haldi Powder
- ½ Teaspoon Red Chili Powder or Lal Mirch Powder
- ½ Teaspoon Coriander Powder or Dhaniya Powder
- ½ Teaspoon Cumin Powder or Jeera Powder
- ½ Teaspoon Chaat Masala Powder
- ½ Teaspoon Garam Masala Powder
- ½ Teaspoon Black Pepper Powder or Kali Mirch Powder
- ¼ Teaspoon Black Salt Kala Namak
- ½ Teaspoon Salt As Per Taste
- ½ Teaspoon Ginger Garlic Paste
- ½ Teaspoon Carom Seeds or Ajwain
- ½ Teaspoon Dried Fenugreek Leaves or Kasuri Meethi
- 1 Tablespoon Mustard Oil or Sarso Tel
Instructions
- Cut the base of a cauliflower head. Pluck out medium-sized cauliflower florets. In a wok boil water with some salt. Once the water is boiling add your cauliflower florets. Let it blanch for about 4-5 minutes on medium-high heat.
- In a small bowl combine curd/yogurt, Turmeric Powder, Red Chili Powder, Black Pepper Powder, Garam Masala, Chaat Masala, Black Salt, Cumin Powder, Coriander Powder, Salt, Ajwain or Carom Seeds crushed with your hands, and dried Fenugreek Leaves or Kasuri methi crushed with your hands. Pour some mustard oil and mix well.
- Take a strainer and use a spoon of a kitchen tong to pick out cauliflower florets. Place them in the strainer and run it over cold tap water. This will help your cauliflower cool down faster.
- Marinate cauliflower florets in the tandoori marination. And either bake them or fry them in a grill pan. To bake place them on a baking tray.
- If you want to bake, then preheat your oven to 350F or 180C and bake your cauliflower for at least 20-21 minutes. If the top doesn't turn brown after 20-minutes, put your oven to grill mode and bake for another 2-3 minutes until the top turns light brown.
- To fry them in a grill pan you can heat some refined oil and once the oil gets hot, place your cauliflower florets. Keep some gap between the cauliflower and cook on medium-high heat until it turns golden brown. Flip over and repeat with the other side. Once done, serve with mayonnaise or tomato ketchup.
