Steps:
- For the cauliflower: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Heat the butter and olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat until the butter melts. Add the garlic and curry powder and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Make a small foil ring wide enough to hold up the base of the cauliflower a little. Put the foil ring in a large saute pan and place the cauliflower on top. Season the cauliflower with salt and pepper. Pour all but 1/4 cup of the curry butter over the cauliflower. Roast the cauliflower for 10 minutes, then baste with some of the curry butter on the bottom of the pan. Continue to roast and baste until the cauliflower is tender, about 45 minutes.
- Meanwhile, add the almonds and raisins to the remaining curry butter in the saucepan and cook over medium heat until the nuts are toasted and the raisins are plump, about 3 minutes. Stir in the lime juice.
- Remove the cauliflower to a serving platter and drizzle with any remaining butter from the saute pan. Top with the nut, raisin and curry butter mixture and sprinkle with the lime zest.
- For the yogurt-tahini sauce: Whisk together the yogurt, olive oil, tahini, dill, cumin, garlic and lemon juice in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
- Drizzle the cauliflower with the yogurt-tahini sauce and garnish with the cilantro, mint and chiles.

Steps:
- Clean cauliflower and chop the florets to desired sizes. Optional - heat 3 cups water in a large bowl, add cauliflower florets to the slightly hot water. Leave it for some time. Rinse them under running water and drain them.
- Heat oil in a pan. Add mustard and cumin. When they begin to sizzle add the curry leaves and fry for 30 seconds.
- Add onions and green chilli. Saute until pink or golden.
- Stir in ginger garlic and saute till a nice aroma comes out for about 30 to 60 seconds.
- Then add tomatoes and salt. Saute until the tomatoes turn soft and mushy.
- Add turmeric, red chilli powder, garam masala and coriander powder. Saute for 30 to 60 seconds until the masala smells aromatic.
- Then add cauliflower florets and saute for 1 to 2 mins.
- Pour ½ to 1 cup water or coconut milk and give a good mix. I used 1 cup water at this step. Young cauliflower releases lots of moisture, so be careful not to add a lot of water at one time.
- Cover and cook until the cauliflower is tender but not mushy.
- If needed add more water or coconut milk to bring the curry to a desired consistency. I added half cup coconut milk at this stage.
- Taste the curry and add more salt if needed. Garnish cauliflower curry with coriander leaves.

Tips:
- Choose the right cauliflower: Look for a head of cauliflower that is compact and heavy, with tightly closed florets. Avoid heads with any signs of bruising or discoloration.
- Trim the cauliflower properly: Remove the tough outer leaves and cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets. Be sure to cut through the core so that the florets will cook evenly.
- Steam the cauliflower until tender: Steaming is the best way to cook cauliflower for this recipe, as it helps to preserve its nutrients and flavor. Steam the cauliflower for 8-10 minutes, or until it is tender but still has a slight crunch.
- Make the curry butter: While the cauliflower is steaming, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the curry powder and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the curry powder is fragrant. Stir in the lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
- Toss the cauliflower with the curry butter: Once the cauliflower is cooked, transfer it to a bowl and toss it with the curry butter. Serve immediately.
Conclusion:
This cauliflower with curry butter is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. For a spicier dish, use a hotter curry powder. For a more mild dish, use a milder curry powder or reduce the amount of curry powder used. You can also add other vegetables to this dish, such as broccoli, carrots, or snap peas.
