Coronation Cauliflower (curried egg and cauliflower salad)

Name: Coronation Cauliflower (curried egg and cauliflower salad)
Cuisine: European, British
Ingredients: 1 medium cauliflower, trimmed and broken into 3–4cm florets; keeping the tender leaves (500g); 1 onion, cut into 1cm thick wedges (180g); 2 tbsp olive oil; 1 tbsp mild curry powder; 9 large eggs; 100g greek-style yoghurt; 50g mayonnaise; 1 tsp aleppo chilli flakes (or ½ tsp regular chilli flakes); 1 tsp cumin seeds, toasted and roughly crushed; 2 lemons, 1 squeezed to get 1 tbsp juice and the second cut into 4–6 wedges, to serve; 10g tarragon, roughly chopped; salt and black pepper

Instructions

This is what Coronation chicken would taste like if you replaced the chicken with cauliflower and hard-boiled egg. An introduction which possibly makes no sense until you eat it for yourself. If you are missing the chicken side of the equation, then you could do worse than serve this with said bird, roasted on the weekend.
