Try your hand at this tandoori-style roasted cauliflower side dish

Fresh, locally grown cauliflower meets a yogurt marinade in this tandoori-inspired dish that’s not really tandoori at all.

She recommends this version of cauliflower as an accompaniment to grilled, roasted (or tandoori!) chicken, or served over rice or grains as a nutrient-dense salad.
