Ingredients
Tandoori Paste
-
0.75 cup plain yogurt
-
0.25 cup olive oil
-
1 tsp. ground coriander
-
1 tbsp. paprika
-
1 tsp. turmeric
-
1 tsp. curry powder
-
1 tsp. chili powder
-
1.5 tsp. kosher salt
-
1 clove garlic, minced
-
1 tsp. ginger, grated
-
2 heads cauliflower
-
fresh cilantro, for garnish
1 Food Prep
First, in a medium-size bowl, add the tandoori paste ingredients. Whisk together until smooth, and set aside.
- Next, remove the outer leaves from each cauliflower head. Cut off the bottom stem end to create a flat base that will stand up.
- Then, use a large, sharp knife to trim away the outer edges, and cut the remaining middle part of the head into 2–3 steaks. Save the edges for another use.
- Carefully rub or brush the steaks with the tandoori paste on both sides. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
2 Grill Prep
- Fuel: We recommend Kingsford® Original Charcoal Briquets
- Method: Two-Zone Method
- Temp: 375°F (Medium Heat)
Carefully hold your hand about 5” to 6” above the grate, and refer to the temperature settings below:
• High Heat (450° to 550°F):
2 to 4 seconds
• Medium Heat (350° to 450°F):
5 to 6 seconds
• Low Heat (250° to 350°F):
8 to 10 seconds
Make sure your clothing doesn’t touch the grate, and always move your hand away from the heat before you feel discomfort.
When you’re at temp, put cooking oil on a folded paper towel. Grab the oiled paper towel with long-handled tongs and oil the grate thoroughly.

3 The Cook
- When you’re at temp, put cooking oil on a folded paper towel. Grab the oiled paper towel with long-handled tongs and oil the grate thoroughly.
- Gently place the steaks directly over the coals. Cover and cook for about 4–5 minutes on each side, taking care not to burn the cauliflower.
- Then, move the cauliflower steaks to the cooler side of the grill and cover. Continue to cook for another 3–5 minutes, until crisp-tender.
- If you have any leftover tandoori paste, you can serve it with the hot cauliflower.
- Enjoy the delicious flavors.
