Aaloo Gobhi Magic

Cauliflower is one very frequently made curry at my place. That is what I mean by gobhi here. Once upon a time I used to think gobhi means cabbage as its so rhyming with the marathi name for cabbage -"kobi". So we are dealing with cauliflower here.
Gobhi parathas, gobhi in PavBhaji recipie,Gobhi manchurian,Gobhi kheema from Nags Blog, all are my favourite recipies. Health wise, what I read on wikipedia today is that "Cauliflower is low in fat, high in dietary fiber, folate, water and vitamin C, possessing a very high nutritional density".

So with enuff of the cauliflower talk let me now jump to the recipe.




Ingredients :
Cauliflower - chopped 2 cups
1 chopped onion (long slices or as you like)
1 chopped tomato
1 chopped Potato
Green peas
Curry leaves
Goda masala Sugar
Salt
Turmeric powder
Red Chilli Powder
Oil
Mustard Seeds


Heat oil in a pan. Add mustard seeds and currey leaves. Add chopped onions and fry them for a minute.
Add chopped Tomatoes. Let them cook till soft.
Add turmeric powder, 1 tea-spoon of goda masala, red chilli powder
After a minute add chopped cauliflower and chopped potatoes. Cook them covered for 5 mins.
Add Green peas (I ues frozen green peas which cook quickly, so I am adding them in the end)
Also add some salt, a tablespoon of sugar ,another tea spoon of goda masala and let the curry cook well.
Garnish with Chopped cilantro and shredded coconut as like. Squeeze some lemon juice to njoy the fresh aroma.
Serve warm with chapatti's.
