40 MINUTES | SERVES 4 | EASY | V

The spiciness of the cauliflowe­r is offset by the nutty sauce and yogurt. You can also serve this without the naan as a warm salad with watercress dressed with lemon juice and olive oil.

cauliflowe­r 1 large

extra-virgin olive oil 3 tbsp ground cumin 2 tsp

ground turmeric 1 tsp

mild chilli powder Ω tsp

MINT YOGURT

greek yogurt 200ml

• Heat the oven to 220C/fan 200C/ gas 7. Cut the cauliflowe­r into small florets, put in a roasting tray and drizzle with the olive oil. Sprinkle over the spices, some salt and a few twists of black pepper and toss well. Roast for 15-20 minutes or until browned.

• Combine all the ingredient­s for the mint yogurt in a bowl and season.

• To make the hazlenut sauce, toast the nuts in a frying pan for a few minutes until fragrant and light golden. Cool, then blitz the hazelnuts, parmesan and lemon juice with 2 tbsp of water in a food processor. Slowly drizzle in the oil with the blades running until you get a hummus-like consistenc­y. Taste for seasoning and acidity, adjust if necessary, then blitz one more time.

• To assemble, spoon a generous amount of sauce onto the middle of each naan and spread evenly. Top with cauliflowe­r and mint yoghurt, then scatter over some pomegranat­e seeds, coriander leaves and onions. Serve immediatel­y.
