Hide images
step 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C fan.
step 2
Mix the yogurt (300 g) with the smoked paprika (1 1/2 tbsp), cumin (1 1/2 tbsp), garlic powder (1 1/2 tbsp), garam masala (1 tbsp), salt (1 tsp), lemon (2) juice and season with salt and pepper.
step 3
Trim the cauliflower (3) then slice into halves and coat all over in the marinade. Divide between 2 large baking trays.
step 4
Roast for 30-40 minutes, until golden and tender. If the cauliflower is getting too dark, cover with foil until cooked.
step 5
Meanwhile, pat dry the chickpeas (2 tins) on kitchen paper, toss in 1 tbsp olive oil and season well with salt.
step 6
Lay on a lined baking tray and bake alongside the cauliflower for 25-30 minutes until golden and crisp. Toss with the smoked paprika (1 tsp) and set aside.
step 7
Wash the rice (400 g) well until the water is clear.
step 8
Bring 475ml water, oil (3 tbsp), salt (3/4 tsp) and coconut milk (1 tin) to boil in a large saucepan.
step 9
Add the rice, reduce to a low simmer, wrap the pot lid in a tea towel and leave to cook for approximately 15 minutes.
step 10
Once cooked, add the butter (1 tbsp), fluff the rice with a fork and set aside, uncovered.
step 11
Add the coriander (35 g) to a food processor, followed by the coconut yogurt (200 g), garlic (1 clove), lime juice (1 tbsp) and salt (1/2 tsp). Pulse until smooth then adjust the food processor to a slow blend and slowly pour in the olive oil (2 tbsp).
step 12
To serve, spoon the rice into bowls and top with the cauliflower halves and crunchy chickpeas. Spoon on the houmous (1 tub) before drizzling over the coriander yogurt and sprinkling with the fresh coriander (1 handful) and red chilli (3).
