Gobi Masala | Aloo Gobi Masala

Gobi Masala is an easy and tasty Indian cauliflower recipe prepared in most of Indian parties or restaurants. It is sometimes called as Masala Gobhi or Gobi Masala or even Aloo Ghobi Masala.

This is a lip smacking Cauliflower recipe cooked with Indian spices.

Gobi masala recipe which I am sharing today is a dryer version.

It accompanies well with chapatis or parathas.

Cauliflower itself tastes delicious when cooked with the spices and masala.

This masala coats the ghobi really well giving the tangy and spicy flavour in every bite. If you want little gravy you can add little water too before adding the fried potato and cauliflower.

Notes: 

• Cook the potatoes and cauliflower separately as cauliflower does not take much time to cook.
• If you are shallow frying the cauliflower and potatoes, do not cover otherwise those will steam rather than getting fried and doses not taste as good.
• If using fresh peas add it with the tomatoes so that those will get cooked properly.
• Adjust the spice level according to your preference.
• You can add cream to make curry richer and tastier.
• Use a ‘Large Pan/Pot’ when cooking cauliflower to avoid it from breaking or getting mushy.
