Achari Gobhi Recipe - Cauliflower Curry

achari gobhi recipe - cauliflower cooked spices used in pickles

achari gobhi - cauliflower cooked with spices used for making pickles.cauliflower is one ingredient where we can able to make variety of recipes starting from starters to main course.I want to make more recipes when i able to get cauliflower in really big size,but mostly ends with gobi 65.

I saw this recipe on Instagram,where my friend shared the photo of her ,who blogs at Life with spices, +Kalpana Sareesh .The color of the recipe itself seems more appetizing and want to make it once i got fresh cauliflower from the market.Bookmarked her recipe and made some changes and added capsicum which i added for some extra texture to the recipe.

want to take some ingredient shots which i love to take it everytime.Had some enough light that day from the morning itself.so made some shots to share it here.So excited to see one of my posts on huffington post on sunday featuring Paneer recipes and i am really happy.V appreciated me and told to continue this journey and don't stop it without any particular reason.Actually am in a mood for taking a break from here,but after seeing that,i think i will continue this journey as possible.

I always used to cook the cauliflower in boiling water first and use them in the recipes.If you want more firm cauliflower pieces,then remove them after 3 to 4 minutes and then proceed the recipe.Add the powder made from spices finally because the fenugreek seeds gives bitter taste to the recipe.I experienced that and added a teaspoon of honey to manage it.i did not used hing or asafoetida in the recipe, use it if you want extra flavor.

Already i tried achari paneer recipe which is in gravy form and this one is more like stir fry and it does not much gravy part in the recipe.Mostly i followed the same recipe,except making the gravy.This can be perfectly paired with rotis and also with steamed rice too.Lets move on making.,
