Ingredients

For the Tandoori Cauliflower and Chickpea mix

  • 3 cups cauliflower florets
  • 1 can chickpeas drained
  • 3 tbsp oil
  • 1 tbsp tandoori masala/curry powder
  • 1 tbsp kashmiri red chilli powder
  • 1 tbsp ground cumin
  • 1 tbsp dry mango powder
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp ginger-garlic paste
  • salt to taste

Creamy and Spicy Guacamole

  • 1 avocado peeled and with stone removed
  • 4 tbsp coriander chopped
  • 1 hot green chilli
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • salt to taste

To serve

  • tortilla wraps warmed
  • coleslaw
  • green salad of your choice
  • 2 limes cut into wedges

Instructions

  • Start by preheating your oven to 425°F/220°C
  • In a mixing bowl, add the oil, tandoori masala, red chilli powder, cumin, mango powder, lemon juice, ginger-garlic paste and salt. Mix well.
  • Add the cauliflower and chickpeas to the mix. Combine well, covering them in the mixture until evenly coated.
  • Place the mix on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Try to spread the mix evenly across the tray, and prevent it from bunching up or piling up.
  • Transfer the tray to the oven and bake for 30 minutes. Check on it regularly to ensure the mix doesn’t burn.
  • While the mix bakes, make the guacamole. Put the peeled and de-stoned avocado, coriander, green chilli, garlic, lime juice and salt in a blender. Blend until smooth. If it’s a little thick, add a little water to allow it to smoothen.
  • Once baked, remove cauliflower and chickpea mix from oven. Allow to cool for 5 minutes.
  • Prepare the tortillas by filling each one with pink slaw, salad, tandoori cauliflower and chickpeas, and drizzle a little bit of guacamole on top. Garnish with lime wedges and chopped coriander. Serve and enjoy.
