Boiled cauliflower was a staple in my house as a kid. If you've only ever had cauliflower cooked like that, then try it baked or fried – it'll blow your mind.

Ingredients

2 tsp salt
¼ tsp smoked paprika
¼ tsp curry powder
½ tsp chilli powder
1 litre canola oil, for frying
1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
2 tsp finely shredded curly parsley
black pepper, to serve
lemon wedges, to serve

Method

Combine the salt, paprika, curry powder and chilli powder and stir to combine. Heat the oil in a wok or large pan to about 180°C.
Add half the cauliflower florets and fry until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Drain and repeat for the remaining florets. While the cauliflower is still hot, sprinkle generously with the salt-and-spice mix, reserving any unused mix for a future batch. Scatter with parsley, grind over some black pepper and serve with lemon wedges.
