Instructions
- Heat oven to 220°C

- While the cauliflower roasts, prepare your burger sauce: Heat a little oil in a small saucepan and fry onions until soft. Add remaining madras spice mix and a pinch of salt and cook a further minute. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
- Slice the cucumber in half and scrape out the inner seeds with a spoon. Chop into small cubes. Combine cooled madras onions, yoghurt, cucumber and mint. Season with salt and pepper. Place in the fridge until needed.
- Coleslaw: Place all the coleslaw ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.

- Whilst egg is frying toast the insides of each brioche bun.
- Building your burger: Divide the burger sauce between each bun. On the bottom bun add coleslaw, followed by the cauliflower steak and the fried egg. Top with remaining brioche bun. Serve with an ice-cold beer.
