Notes about this recipe

    I've never gotten as far as adding the yogurt, mint, and pomegranate seeds, because the roasted cauliflower with cumin seeds is so good it barely survives the trip from oven to table.

    I expected to love this and ended up disappointed. I think I would have liked the flavor of ground cumin instead of cumin seeds here but with so many fantastic cauliflower recipes, I don't feel compelled to revisit this one.

    In my view this recipe would justify the price of the book on its own. In pomegranate season I make it about every 2 weeks. I love the combination of crispy, cumin-flecked cauliflower, the salty yogurt, the fresh mint and the crunchy sweet pomegranate seeds. I don't imagine I will ever tire of this recipe. - Jane

    Pg. 294. After reading the 4 previous very positive reviews of this dish, I am stunned that I really didn't care for it all that much. I followed the recipe exactly, so it's not due to having made any changes. I just felt that I would have preferred roasted cauliflower on its own, that the yogurt and other ingredients actually detracted from my enjoyment of the dish.

    Melissa Clark has such a way with roasted cauliflower! I love her cauliflower with cumin and almonds from In the Kitchen with a Good Appetite too. This is just bursting with flavor and texture, and I didn't even have the mint.

    Really liked the combo of cumin w salty yogurt. Good side as part of Indian meal (so as not to mess w multiple curries). Didn't think the pomegranate and mint were essential.

    Ditto, Jane! Made it tonight with pork tenderloin, and my husband and I scarfed it up! He didn't care for the pomegranate seeds all that much but I absolutely loved the crunch. And the dish is so colorful -- would look great on a plate at the holidays.

    This was so, so delicious and so, so easy. The combination of crunchy, charred cauliflower and cumin, topped by cool salty yogurt, fresh mint and sweet crunchy pomegranate seeds was inspired. I had it with a grilled lamb chop but would happily have eaten it on its own or with a grain, as Melissa suggests.

    But today, today I had this for lunch and the world has so much brighter since....This dish gets an amazing amount of flavor out of just a few ingredients.
