Gobi Fry

My better half like cauliflower a lot, so we buy it religiously every week. When all avenues of cauliflower vegetables are over I make this one. The reason is its very oily. I tried shallow frying the cauliflower but the end result was not as nice. The only concession it allows is parboiling it like I have mentioned below. Addition of Kasuri methi and coriander also gives the vegetable nice flavours add with the dry masalas say, ½ tsp each.

So indulge once in a while.

Ingredients:

1 medium cauliflower (300-350 grms)

Oil for frying +2 tblspns.

1 medium onion grated

3 cloves garlic, crushed.

½ inch ginger, crushed

½ tsp turmeric,

½ tsp red chilli powder

½ tsp coriander powder

¼ tsp cumin powder

½ tsp garam masala

Salt to taste

Method:

2. Deep fry till golden and tender over medium heat.
3. Drain and keep aside.
4. Heat 2 tblspn oil and put in the onion. Fry till oil separates.
5. Add garlic, ginger. Fry lightly.
