Step by Step

Steps

1Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) Fan. Add milk, flour, ground cumin, ground coriander, garlic powder, and salt to a mixing bowl. Whisk to combine until smooth.

2.1Cut the cauliflower in half, then slice each half from the center to create two steak-like pieces. Dip each piece into the batter, coating both sides well. Place the coated pieces on a baking tray lined with baking paper.

2.2Break the remaining cauliflower into bite-sized pieces and toss them in the leftover batter to coat evenly.

3Arrange the coated cauliflower pieces around the steaks on the baking tray. Pour any remaining batter over areas where there are gaps, ensuring an even coating once cooked and flipped.

4Roast the cauliflower steaks in the middle of the oven for 30 minutes. Flip them over and roast for another 10 minutes, or until a golden crust forms. Check for doneness by ensuring the steaks are tender inside.

5Transfer the steaks to a plate. In a bowl, mix yogurt, apple cider vinegar, dill, and salt to make the sauce. Serve alongside the cauliflower steaks.
