METHOD
TO MAKE THE YOGURT SAUCE
In a small mixing bowl, combine all the yoghurt sauce ingredients and stir to combine. Place in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
TO MAKE THE CURRY CAULIFLOWER
Preheat the grill to 400°F (200°C). Place the cauliflower, potatoes, white onions, tomatoes, peas, and chickpeas in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle coconut oil over the top of the vegetables and toss to coat. Stir in the curry powder, as well as a pinch of salt and pepper, until evenly coated.
Tear off four 12 x 18-inch (30 x 46-cm) pieces of aluminium foil and lay them out. Place the curry cauliflower mixture in the centre of each of the four sheets. Fold the two long sides toward the centre and press the seam together until it reaches the filling. To seal the ends, fold the two short sides in twice.
Place each packet on the grill for 7 minutes, then flip and grill for another 7 minutes. Gently open one packet and poke the cauliflower and potatoes to see if they are tender. If not, continue to cook until they are.
When the packets are done, place them on a cooling rack for 5 minutes before opening and serving. After opening the packets, squeeze lemon juice over each one and season with salt and pepper. Enjoy the packets with the yoghurt sauce on the side.
