Ingredients

  • 1 cauliflower
  • ½ tsp red chili powder
  • ¼ tsp turmeric powder haldi
  • ½ tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp yogurt homemade curd
  • 1 tbsp semolina sooji
  • to taste salt
  • olive oil for brushing

Instructions

  • Clean & break the cauliflower into medium sized florets to allow uniform grilling.
  • In a bowl, mix together all spices, curd & lemon juice. Add florets & mix them using a spoon or hand so that they are evenly covered with marinade. Cover with a lid & allow to marinate for few hours. I left it overnight. If you are leaving it longer then keeping it in fridge would save it from going bad.
  • When you are ready to grill, add semolina and mix well. Spread the cauliflower in a baking tray or rotisserie, spread evenly & pour the marinate on top.
  • Brush with oil lightly & grill on high stand/rack for 20-25 mins until done. In between turn the florets around so that they can be grilled from all sides.
  • Serve hot with chutney. We had it as snack with drinks.
