Рецепт Shahi Gobhi Masala - North Indian Style Cauliflower Curry
Shahi Gobhi Masala - North Indian Style Cauliflower Curry
There are a few vegetables with which I usually do not play around.Cauliflower is one such.Mostly Manchurian or Kurma is made with Cauliflower and I once even tried making a Biryani out of it!So when I had a big Cauliflower peeping at me every time I opened the fridge,I decided to cook something with it after all.Many ideas popped up and then I made this.
Shahi gravy is a quite popular one when it comes to North Indian curries.Thickened with either a nut-paste or cream,these gravies are nothing short of an indulgence.I've made a Paneer version before and worked around that recipe a bit to make this.
I've chosen to shallow-fry the florets before adding to the gravy,you can deep fry or even boil it before adding to the gravy,choice is yours!Pairs well with rotis as well as a simple Jeera Pulao.
