Lamb tikka masala with roasted spiced cauliflower

This is a recipe I've tried and adored, there's a lovely flavour in the curry, and the roasted spiced cauliflower is heavenly.  I could eat the cauli on it's own, and in fact had some cold in a salad the next day - yum!

Ingredients
2 large onions, 1 coarsely grated, the other sliced
2 garlic cloves, crushed

A few drops of tabasco sauce (or any hot pepper sauce)
salt and pepper

1 cauliflower cut into florets
Fry Light

6oz / 170g green beans, halved

2 yellow peppers2. Meanwhile, place the cauliflower florets in a roasting tin and spray with Fry Light.  Scatter over the cumin seeds season and roast in the oven for 30 minutes.
