Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

Remove the leaves from the cauliflower and trim the stem to create a flat base.

In a bowl, mix yogurt, garam masala, cumin, coriander, turmeric, paprika, ginger, garlic, and salt to create a marinade.

Coat the cauliflower thoroughly with the marinade, ensuring it covers all surfaces.

Place the cauliflower on a baking sheet and roast for 30-35 minutes until golden brown and tender.

While the cauliflower roasts, heat oil in a pan over medium heat and sauté chopped onions until translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

Add tomato puree to the pan and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Pour in coconut milk and bring the mixture to a simmer, cooking for 10 minutes to thicken.

Stir in lemon juice and adjust seasoning with salt as needed.

Once the cauliflower is roasted, remove it from the oven and place it in the sauce, spooning sauce over it.

Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.

Serve hot with rice or naan.
