  • 2 tablespoons tandoori masala spice mix
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • Salt to taste
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

  4. Coat each cauliflower steak with the tandoori marinade, making sure to cover both sides.
