I've actually made a dish virtually identical to this for long time. I prefer to roast cauliflower steaks for 45 minutes at 350 degrees rather than seer, it's easier and less mess to clean up. I also prefer to use a good curry powder instead of mixing the three separate ingredients. I did 4 steaks plus the florets(it was a big one) left over and had to quadruple the oil/spices to cover everything. It is absolutely delicious. I have also tried this with Indian red curry paste/oil,mixture and equally impressive. It's a staple at my house
