a) Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
b) Boil a full kettle.
c) Halve any large cauliflower florets.
a) Pop the cauliflower onto a large baking tray. Sprinkle over the Indonesian style spice mix. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread them out in a single layer.

c) Meanwhile, roughly chop the coriander (stalks and all).
a) Pour the boiled water from your kettle into a large saucepan with 1/2 tsp salt on high heat.
b) Stir in the macaroni and bring back to the boil. Cook until tender, 12 mins.
c) Once cooked, drain in a colander and pop back in the pan. Drizzle with oil and stir through to stop it sticking together.
d) Meanwhile, grate the Cheddar cheese.
