A simple homemade Indian meal usually has three main elements: dal, rice and/or roti, and a cooked vegetable or sabzi. These every-night sabzis are rarely elaborate (think bhindi ki sabzi or potato masala), but they are always delicious. Like this simple but yummy cauliflower sabzi or gobi sabzi. The great thing about this cauliflower sabzi is that it tastes like a restaurant-style dish without the work. I usually serve it with dhaba dal and jeera rice when I want to feed my family something special that is also quick enough for me to make on a weeknight. The sabzi goes particularly well with the dhaba dal because it uses many of the same ingredients, which complement each other very nicely when you serve them together. But it would also be great with just about any Indian dal.
Why you will love this gobi sabzi
Loaded with flavor. This gobi sabzi has a lot of flavor from the simple spices, tomatoes and kasoori methi. You can cook the cauliflower florets until very tender, but I like to leave them just barely al dente for the best presentation and texture. Easy recipe. You can use frozen cauliflower florets to make this recipe, cutting down your hands-on time by half or more. You can also use canned tomato puree. Healthy. This is a super healthy recipe, with the cauliflower, tomatoes, garam masala and kasoori methi. All add amazing health benefits while tasting so good! Allergen-free. The sabzi is soy-free, nut-free, gluten-free and vegan.
