Excited to make this. Any suggestions for great accompaniments?

Peter - you have a few possible directions.
The cauliflower as a main, as a side or as part of a spread (buffet or mezze).
Also, as part of a vegetarian meal or an omnivore/meat meal.
For a vegetarian meal and the the cauliflower as a main, serve it with pita or naan, some potato dish (roasted, mashed or casserole), and a dark green like spinach, chard or broccoli,
For a meat meal and the cauliflower as a side dish, serve a roasted meat (your choice), but with relatively understated seasoning - salt, pepper, fat - to not conflict with the turmeric in the cauliflower. And again, some bread or potato and a dish of greens.
For a buffet (either meat or vegetarian), use some of these ideas and more, but in smaller portions so people can have some of everything, mix and match. Look at recipes from eastern Mediterranean through subcontinent (Turkey, Middle East, Persia over to Bangladesh)...again to pick up on the turmeric and pistachios.

Excellent—thanks so much! The dish turned out great. A wonderful addition to the rotation.
