# Instructions:
01 -
Combine lemon juice, corn starch, cumin, and 1/2 tsp each of turmeric, garam masala, and salt in a large bowl. Set aside.

Heat 1 Tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add cauliflower florets and toss occasionally until browned in places and beginning to soften, about 7 to 8 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, transfer cauliflower to the bowl with the seasoning mixture, and toss to coat. Return seasoned cauliflower to the skillet and cook for another 7 to 8 minutes, until charred in spots and crisp-tender. Transfer cauliflower to a bowl.

Add remaining 1 Tbsp olive oil and butter to the skillet. Add chopped onions and cook until translucent, about 8 minutes. Stir in minced garlic, grated ginger, and tomato paste, cooking for 2 minutes until fragrant.
04 -
Add remaining 1/2 tsp turmeric, 2 1/2 tsp garam masala, 1 tsp salt, paprika, cinnamon, and cayenne (if using). Cook for 1 minute. Stir in tomato sauce and vegetable broth, and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce to a simmer.
05 -
Stir in heavy cream and return cooked cauliflower to the skillet. Simmer uncovered until the sauce thickens, about 15 minutes.

Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve over basmati rice with a dollop of Greek yogurt.
