1
Position an oven rack approximately 4 inches from the broiler and preheat to the high broil setting.

Lay the head, stem up, on a cutting board and cut in half from top to bottom.

Lay each half on its side and cut in half again.

Slice each quarter pie style into wedges, so that a piece of core holds each wedge together and the outer edge thickness is not more than 3/4-inch thick.

Crush together the cumin, coriander, mustard, orange peel, turmeric, and fenugreek in a small ramekin using the end of a rolling pin.

Place the oil in a large metal measuring cup or 1-quart saucepan and set over high heat until it shimmers.

Immediately remove from the heat, add to the spice mixture, and steep for 5 minutes.
10
Place the sheet pan into the oven and carefully pour in the water, seal the foil opening, and broil for 6 minutes.

Remove the foil and brush the cauliflower with half of the seasoned oil.

Sprinkle with 3/4 teaspoon salt.
