Introduction from Rukmini Iyer

This all-in-one smoky, roasted vegetable dish gives you all the flavour of a slow-cooked curry, without any of the stirring. If you feel like extra carbs alongside, serve it with a bowl of brown rice or bulgur wheat.

Ingredients

1 extra large cauliflower or 2 small cauliflowers, cut into small florets
2 medium-sized sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 2cm chunks
6 cloves of garlic, minced
5cm ginger, minced
4 tsp paprika
4 tsp ground cumin
100ml olive oil
sea salt
350g okra, washed and dried, left whole
200g yogurt
1 lemon, juice only
80g flaked almonds, toasted
½ finely sliced red onion
A handful of torn fresh mint or coriander leaves

Method

Preheat your oven to 180°C fan/200°C/gas 6.

Place the cauliflower and sweet potato chunks in a large roasting tin. In a small bowl, mix together the garlic, ginger, paprika, cumin and olive oil, then drizzle half this mixture over the cauliflower and sweet potato along with a good pinch of sea salt. Mix well to coat, then cover the tin with foil and place in the oven to roast for 20 minutes.

Mix the remaining spiced oil with the okra, and set aside.

After 20 minutes, remove the foil from the roasting tin, scatter over the okra, season generously with sea salt, then return the tin, uncovered, to the oven for a further 20 minutes.

For the dressing, mix together the yogurt and lemon juice and set aside. Serve the vegetables hot from the oven, drizzled with the yogurt dressing, and scattered with the toasted flaked almonds, red onion and herbs.
