First up, mix up all the marinade ingredients and pour over the cauliflower in a shallow oven-proof dish. Mix well with your hands. Leave to marinade for 2 hours or overnight.
To cook the cauliflower, set the oven to 180°C and roast the cauliflower for around 10 to 15 minutes. It should be cooked but retain a lovely bite.
To make the sauce, heat the oil in a pan over a medium heat and cook the onion and garlic until soft, then add the tomatoes and cook these down until the paste is thick.
Add the spices and sugar and cook for about a minute.
Stir in the cream and almonds. Now add the cauliflower.

I made this tonight for tea, even the kids liked it (10 and 15 years old). I will definitely be batch cooking this.

Hi – do you chop up the cauliflower at the beginning? Or do you marinade and roast it whole?
