Directions

In a bowl, whisk together the yogurt, garlic, ginger, tomato paste, Tandoori blend and salt.
Wash the cauliflower and dry really well.
Brush the marinade over the cauliflower making sure it is thoroughly coated and marinate the cauliflower for 1 hour at room temperature. Set aside the remaining marinade.
While the cauliflower marinates, mix the ingredients for the pickled onions, saving a large pinch of cilantro.
Preheat the oven to 375F.
Place the cauliflower in an oven safe dish and loosely cover with foil and bake for 1 hour.
Carefully take the cauliflower out of the oven, remove the foil and baste with the remaining marinade.
Bake for another 45 minutes or until the cauliflower can be pierced easily with a knife.
Place the butter on the cauliflower and return to the oven for 1-2 minutes until the butter has melted.
Transfer the cooked cauliflower to a serving platter and top with the onions.
Finish with a dusting of Everything Indian and fresh cilantro and serve with flatbread, roti, naan or as a side to your favorite main dish.
