Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C. Toss the cauliflower, onions, 1 tbsp garam masala and the oil in a baking tray. Roast for 30 mins, stirring halfway, or until the cauliflower is charred and just tender. Squeeze over the lemon juice. 
  2. Meanwhile, in a separate baking tray (about 22 x 32cm) stir together the rice, remaining 1 tsp garam masala, the ginger, garlic, soy sauce and stock. Cover with foil, then bake for 25 mins or until the rice is swollen and cooked. 
  3. Fluff up the rice with a fork and mix through the lemon zest and most of the coriander. Divide among plates and top with the cauliflower and onions. Scatter with the chilli and remaining coriander to serve.
