- Preheat the grill to high. Break the cauliflower into bite-sized florets, the stalk into 1cm pieces and the leaves into bite-sized strips. Tip the florets and stalk onto a large baking tray, drizzle with 1 tbsp oil, season and toss well. Grill for 10 mins, then add the cauliflower leaves, toss everything together and grill for 5 mins or until the cauliflower is tender and leaves are crisp.
- Wash the rice and cook to pack instructions. Drain well.
- Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp oil in a deep frying pan over a medium heat. Add the onion and fry for 10 mins until golden and tender. Stir in the chilli and garlic, fry for 1 min, then stir in the tomato purée and 50ml water. Pour in the tikka masala sauce, stir in the potatoes and simmer for 5 mins.
- Stir the spinach and charred cauliflower florets and stalk into the curry, adding a splash more water to loosen if needed. Stir until the spinach wilts, then swirl in the yogurt and scatter over the crispy cauliflower leaves and coriander. Serve with rice.
