Ingredients

  • 2 cups cauliflower florets
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 zucchini or summer squash, sliced
  • 1 red onion, cut into wedges
  • 2 carrots, sliced
  • 1 cup plain yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt for vegan option)
  • 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika or Kashmiri red chili powder
  • Salt, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons oil (for brushing or roasting)
  • Fresh cilantro or mint, chopped (for garnish)
  • Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice, garam masala, cumin, coriander, turmeric, paprika, and salt to create the marinade.
  2. Add the chopped vegetables to the marinade and toss well to coat evenly. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
  3. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) or heat a grill to medium-high.
  4. Arrange the marinated vegetables on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer, or thread them onto skewers for grilling.
  5. Roast in the oven for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, or grill for 10–15 minutes, turning occasionally, until vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
  6. Garnish with fresh cilantro or mint and serve with lemon wedges.

Notes

  • Use dairy-free yogurt to make it vegan.
  • Add paneer or tofu to boost protein content.
  • Broil for the last 2–3 minutes to achieve a charred effect.
  • Pair with mint chutney or tamarind sauce for extra flavor.
  • Best served fresh, but leftovers can be reheated in the oven or skillet.
