For a deeper flavor, toast your curry powder in a dry pan for a minute or two before mixing it with the other ingredients. If you prefer a richer flavor, use full-fat Greek yogurt. For a lighter option, non-fat works well too. Monitor the cauliflower closely while microwaving to prevent overcooking. The cooking time will depend on the size of the cauliflower and the power of your microwave. Garnish with fresh cilantro or chopped nuts for added texture and visual appeal. Try broiling the cauliflower for a few minutes after microwaving to achieve a slight char and enhance the flavors. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to the curry mixture to enhance the flavors.
