Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash the cauliflower thoroughly.

- Fill a pot with about an inch or two of water and bring it to a boil.
- Place a steaming basket over the pot, making sure it doesn't touch the water.
- Add the cauliflower florets to the steaming basket.
- Cover and steam the cauliflower for about 7-10 minutes, or until tender but still slightly crisp. You should be able to pierce it easily with a fork.
- While the cauliflower is steaming, combine the grated ginger, ground cumin, and turmeric powder in a small bowl.
- In a larger mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt with the spice mixture. Stir well to form a smooth, yellow sauce.
- Once the cauliflower is steamed to your liking, remove it from the steaming basket and add it to the bowl with the yogurt sauce.
- Toss the cauliflower gently to coat evenly with the sauce.
- Drizzle the lemon juice over the coated cauliflower.
- Sprinkle the chopped coriander leaves on top for a fresh, aromatic finish.
- Transfer the seasoned cauliflower to a serving dish.
- Serve immediately as a flavorful side dish or light main course.
Tips:
- Cut the cauliflower into even-sized florets to ensure they steam uniformly and cook through evenly.
- Use fresh ginger root for a more vibrant and aromatic flavor. If unavailable, ginger paste can be a substitute.
- Mix the Greek yogurt and spices thoroughly before adding to the cauliflower to ensure even coating and consistent flavor.
- Garnish the finished dish with extra fresh coriander leaves for added color and a burst of fresh flavor.
- For an extra zing, lightly toast the cumin seeds before grinding them for a more intense flavor.
