Boiled cauliflower was a staple in my house as a kid. If you've only ever had cauliflower cooked like that, then try it baked or fried – it'll blow your mind.

Ingredients

  • 2 tsp salt

  • ¼ tsp smoked paprika

  • ¼ tsp curry powder

  • ½ tsp chilli powder

  • 1 litre canola oil, for frying

  • 1 head cauliflower, cut into florets

  • 2 tsp finely shredded curly parsley

  • black pepper, to serve

  • lemon wedges, to serve

Method

  1. Combine the salt, paprika, curry powder and chilli powder and stir to combine. Heat the oil in a wok or large pan to about 180°C.

    Add half the cauliflower florets and fry until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Drain and repeat for the remaining florets. While the cauliflower is still hot, sprinkle generously with the salt-and-spice mix, reserving any unused mix for a future batch. Scatter with parsley, grind over some black pepper and serve with lemon wedges.
