Step 1
Flake away the layers of the onion so you are left with ‘petals’. Cut the cauliflower (including the stalks and leaves) into bite-sized pieces. Mix the spice mix and 2 tbsp of the oil in a bowl, then tip in the onion and cauliflower pieces and toss to coat. Will keep covered and chilled for up to 24 hours.Step 2
For the sauce, heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Fry the garlic and ginger for 3 mins, then stir in the spice mix. Sizzle for 1 min, then add the bay, cinnamon stick and tomatoes. Simmer for 15-20 mins until thickened, then stir in the butter, honey and cream. Leave to cool, then blend in a food processor until smooth. Stir in the yogurt and season.Step 3
Thread the cauliflower and onion onto skewers. Brush the remaining oil over the barbecue bars and cook the skewers for 15-20 mins, turning frequently, until the cauliflower is tender. Serve with the makhani sauce on the side for dipping or drizzling over.
