The humble cauliflower is an eternal favourite of my husband. Or rather, because it is one of the five vegetables he actually eats, it's our favourite to keep making. It's one of those few ways to help him eat some veggies.But cauliflower! Once or twice in a week! I need new recipes. And I have been scouting for them for long!
This gobhi masala recipe comes from my sister-in-law's cook in Singapore. She's a Punjabi lady with a large heart and lively banter. I met her last year when my hubby (then fiance) and I had travelled to Singapore and stayed at my sister-in-law's place. She made this gobhi masala one day and though it was to be stocked for later, we had quite a bit of it while "tasting " it!
The simplicity of this recipe comes from the less number of spices used. This dish is made only with corriander powder (dhaniya powder), red chilly powder and turmeric for flavour. In this dish, the corriander powder stands out as a soothing, earthy flavour, making this dish a delight for the taste buds.
