cauliflower is a vegetable i love to eat...some times i used to just stir fry it adding little bit of salt and tossing ina few split green chillies and used go have it with chappathies or even wid rice...i love chilli gobi, gobi manjurian in the kerala style..,aloo gobi , etc etc...
recently a friend suggested marinating cauliflower and microwaving it...this recipe stemmed from that idea but is solely my handi work
Ingredients
1.cauliflower- 1 medium sized cut into florets
2.for marinade
chilli powder- 2 tsp
coriander powder - 1 tsp
turmeric powder-1/4 tsp
curd - 1 tbsp
oil- 2 tbsp
first wash the cauliflower in running water ....then cut it into florets and keep it dipped in salt solution for 10 minutes....this will remove any pesticide residues...cauliflower is a vegetable which gets a very heavy dose of pesticides and therefore we should make it a practice of washing this vegetable in this way so that the pesticides do not find their way into our system...
1. take the cleaned florets , rub the powders onto it and then add curd and oil and let it marinate for an hour
2. then shallow fry the marinated cauliflower and keep aside
ingredients for the gravy
onions- 2 medium sized
ginger garlic paste- 1 tbsp
green chillies- 2 sliced
tomatoes- 2 medium sized
oil-as needed
saute the onions till they are soft,then saute the ginger garlic paste , add green chillies and saute them, then add tomatoes and saute till oil starts separating...then add cauliflower florets which have been shallow fried and mix well...then add half cup water and let it come to boil...cook in sim for 5 minutes ..then remove from flame and serve hot with rotis , appams etc...
note:
we can marinate with tandoor masala instead of using other powders...
i used store bought curd to marinate...hung curds can be used instead
