Indian-Spiced Cauliflower with Yogurt Dip

This Indian-spiced roasted cauliflower brings together warming aromatics, softly caramelized edges, and a touch of heat. The creamy yogurt dip cools everything down and ties the dish together. Paired with the 2024 Fortune Favors Parellada, the combination becomes even brighter—the wine’s delicate pear blossom, green apple, and subtle almond notes lift the spices and refresh the palate between bites. It’s a light-but-flavorful dish that shows how simple ingredients can feel elegant.

Ingredients:

  • 1 large head cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garam masala
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne (optional)
  • Salt & black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro or mint
  • Pinch of salt
  • Drizzle of honey (optional)

Steps:

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment.
  2. Toss cauliflower with olive oil, turmeric, cumin, paprika, garam masala, cayenne (if using), salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Spread on the sheet pan and roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping once, until tender with browned edges.
  4. Meanwhile, stir together yogurt, lemon juice, herbs, and a pinch of salt. Add a touch of honey if you want extra balance.
  5. Serve the cauliflower warm with the yogurt dip on the side and a chilled glass of Fortune Favors Parellada. The wine’s brightness lifts the spices and its subtle nuttiness matches the golden-roasted flavors.

Serves 4.
