Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Cut the cauliflower into small florets, and soak them in salt water for a few minutes for cleaning.
Rinse the cauliflower and pat it dry with a kitchen towel.
Line a baking tray with parchment paper, and place the cauliflower florets in a single layer.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of coconut oil over the cauliflower, toss to coat evenly, and roast in the oven for 15 minutes or until slightly golden and tender.
While the cauliflower is roasting, finely chop the fresh ginger and green chili. Set aside.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a large pan over medium heat.
Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle for about 30 seconds, releasing their aroma.
Add the chopped ginger and green chili to the pan, sauté for about 1 minute.
Sprinkle in the turmeric, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt. Stir well to combine with the aromatic oil.
Add the roasted cauliflower into the pan, tossing it to coat the pieces evenly with the spice mixture. Cook for 5 minutes.
Sprinkle garam masala over the cauliflower, and stir to combine. Let it cook for an additional 2 minutes to meld the flavors.
Turn off the heat and add freshly chopped cilantro and lemon juice. Toss gently to combine.
