Rinse the cauliflower under tap water and wipe it dry. Cut and discard the stem. Then cut the cauliflower into 1 inch pieces.
In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients for the marinade to get a smooth paste like consistency.
Add the cauliflower florets and mix well so they get coated with the marinade.
(optional) If you like, you can thread the cauliflowers into skewers.

Notes
This is medium spicy. To reduce the spice level, skip red chili powder and/or reduce quantity of garam masala.
If you don't have gram flour, you can substitute with all-purpose flour or rice flour.
Skip the oil if you want to make this oil free. Tandoori Gobi will still taste great.
