    • 1 cup/240 g plain unsweetened yogurt
    • 1 bunch cilantro
    • 1 jalapeño, deseeded for a milder flavor
    • 1 shallot
    • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
    • 1 tsp toasted cumin, ground*
    • 1 tsp toasted coriander, ground*
    • ½ tsp ground black pepper

    • Thinly sliced scallions, both green and white parts
    • Shredded carrots
    • Fresh cilantro leaves 
    • Fresh lime wedges
    • Corn tortillas to serve

    Directions

    1. Preheat the oven to 425F.
    2. Toss the cauliflower with the olive oil and chaat masala, and season with salt. Spread on a baking sheet or roasting pan and cook until golden brown, rotating the pan halfway through cooking, about 30 minutes.
    3. While the cauliflower is roasting, prepare the sauce. Blend the yogurt, cilantro, jalapeño, shallot, lime juice, cumin, coriander, and black pepper over high speed until smooth. Taste and season with salt and sugar as needed.
    4. To assemble and serve the tacos, stuff the cauliflower into the tortillas and drizzle with sauce. Garnish with the scallions, carrots and cilantro. Serve with a lime wedge. Alternatively, have guests assemble their own.

      perfect timing! I just got my order of ALL these spices and am attending a Taco bar potluck tonight!! Can’t wait to wow everyone with this one!! Brilliant ! As a retired chef, I’m really impressed with the quality of your blends especially, the lime curry rub my current obsession.

      Very tasty! The crispy cauliflower has a nice warm, spicy bite and the sauce is sooo good. I used sour cream instead of yogurt because it is what I had. This recipe will definitely go into frequent rotation in our house. Thanks for sharing!!

      I love how simple the prep is and full of veggies. I will forward to my daughter who does wonders with pitas and olive oil.

      Hi Sharon, thanks for checking out the recipe! I think this preparation would be delicious in a pita pocket without any changes.

      This sounds delish! Would anything need to be changed if I wanted to stuff this into a pita pocket? Thanks!
