   Roast the cauliflower

   Toss the cauliflower with 10 ml of oil and 2 g of salt. Spread it in a single layer on a baking tray and roast for 20 minutes at 220 °C, until browned at the edges and tender in the middle but still holding its shape.

   Cook the rice

   Rinse the rice in a sieve under cold water. Put it in a saucepan with 450 ml of water and 2 g of salt, then bring to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat to the lowest setting and cook for 12 minutes. Remove from the heat and leave covered for another 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

   Make the chickpea curry

   While the cauliflower is roasting, heat the remaining 15 ml of oil in a wide saucepan. Cook the onion over medium heat for 5 minutes, until softened and sweet. Add the garlic, ginger, curry powder, cumin, turmeric and chilli; stir for 30 seconds. Stir in the tomatoes, coconut milk, 150 ml of water, chickpeas and the remaining 3 g of salt. Simmer gently for 12 minutes, stirring occasionally.

   Finish and serve

   Stir the roasted cauliflower into the curry and warm over low heat for 2 minutes so it absorbs the sauce without breaking apart. Remove from the heat, add the lime juice and stir. Divide the rice and curry among four bowls and sprinkle with coarsely chopped coriander.
