CURRIED CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add salt. Meanwhile, trim the cauliflower but leave it whole. Add it to the boiling water and cook until a thinbladed knife pierces the cauliflower with little resistance, 10 to 20 minutes. Immediately transfer the cauliflower to a bowl of ice water and run water over it until it is cool enough to handle.
• Cut or break the cauliflower into florets. Put a 12-inch skillet, preferably nonstick, over medium-high heat. Add the oil and curry powder and cook, stirring, until the powder turns brown and becomes aromatic, just a minute or so. Toss in the cauliflower and some salt and pepper and cook, stirring, until it is nicely coated with the oil and reheated, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the cumin seeds and lemon juice and stir, then taste and adjust the seasoning; serve hot or at room temperature.
