We do try to eat vegetarian at least twice a week, plus one fish day. So this Turmeric and spice-marinated cauliflower dish fits the bill: it as heaps of spices on the cauliflower turmeric, cumin, coriander, ginger, paprika. The sauce is rich and full of flavour. Marinading the florets is a great way to give it a depth of flavour while frying helps to keep its texture, and also add a crunch. Give it a try. It is easy and tasty.
