Step 1

Heat the oven to 180*C/350*F/gas 4 and line two large baking trays with foil.

Step 2

Break the cauliflower into bit-sized florets and put into a large bowl. Pour over 4 tablespoons of oil (or enough to coat them properly), then scatter over 1 teaspoon of salt. Mix with your hands until they're completely coated, and place in a single layer on the baking trays. Roast for 30 to 40 minutes, until tender and nicely browned in places. Check every 10 minutes - if the florets start to burn, cover them loosely with foil.

Step 3

In the meantime, put 3 tablespoons of oil into a large frying pan over a medium heat and, when hot, add the onions. Cook for 12 to 15 minutes until soft and browning, then crush in the garlic and grate in the ginger. Fry for a couple of minutes, then add the ground cardamom, black pepper, garam masala, chili powder, ground almonds, honey and 1 1/4 teaspoon of salt (or to taste). Stir-fly for 3 minutes then add the yoghurt.

Step 4

Turn the heat down to low and cook for around 10 minutes, until the sauce starts to turn a rich gold. When the cauliflower is tender, tip it into the sauce and stir to coat. Thin the sauce to the consistency of pouring yoghurt with the milk, and heat through. Check for seasoning as you may need to add a little more salt.(Optional) Finally put a small frying pan over a medium heat and, when hot, add the rasins and flaked almonds. Stir-fry until the raisins start to blacken and puff up and the almonds turn golden brown, then take off the heat.

Step 5

To serve, scatter the rasins and toasted almonds over the top of the cauliflower, and serve with rice or chapattis.
