How to Prepare Roasted Cauliflower Tikka Masala [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

 
  1. Heat oven to 425°F. Combine the marinade ingredients and toss with the cauliflower. Spread on a lightly oiled sheet pan and roast for 20 minutes or until brown, turning once or twice. Remove when tender and set aside.
  2. For the sauce, heat oil in a deep saucepan over medium to medium-high heat. Add the cumin seeds. When lightly toasted, fragrant and crackling, add the onions. Cook until translucent and browning, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add ginger garlic paste and cook 2 minutes, then add the tomatoes. Cook well, until the tomatoes break down, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. In a food processor, add the contents of the saucepan and the tomato paste and grind until smooth. Add back to the pan.
  5. Over low heat, add the bay leaf, chili powder, coriander, turmeric, and garam masala. Cook for 5 minutes and mix in 1/2 cup water. Raise heat and bring to a boil.
  6. Add the cooked cauliflower, dried methi, and more water if needed. Cover and cook a few minutes, before adding vegan yogurt. Season with salt to taste.
  7. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and serve with naan or rice.
