Loaded with fragrant spices, these Indian-inspired vegetarian burgers are super-tasty. For a different take, serve them as a deconstructed burger. Layer lettuce and cauliflower steaks on a plate, dollop with raita and serve toasted sandwich thins on the side.

Instructions

To make burgers, trim base and leaves from the cauliflower. Cut cauliflower into quarters. Cut each quarter into 2 even thick “steaks,” keeping centre core intact. Combine oil, curry powder and lemon juice in a small bowl and season with salt. Brush curry mixture over both sides of cauliflower steaks.
Heat a grill pan or large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook cauliflower steaks for 4-5 minutes on each side or until lightly charred and tender.
Meanwhile, to make raita, mix all ingredients in a small bowl until combined. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use (can be made up to 1 day ahead).
Place a lettuce leaf on base of each sandwich thin, top each with 2 cauliflower steaks, raita and sandwich top. Serve immediately.

Notes

TIP: Scooping out and discarding seeds from cucumber before grating will prevent raita becoming watery.
