I never realised that I had not posted the recipe for this super simple Cauliflower Fry. You need very little to make this stir-fry and the end result is nice sabzi that you can eat with both rice and rotis.
I am not overly fond of phool gobi or cauliflower, but the one form I enjoy it is this Cauliflower Fry. Actually, while this Phool Gobi ki Sabzi is called a stir-fry, the only oil I use in this is in the tadka or tempering and the rest of the cooking happens largely as steam released by the water in the cauliflower. The net result is that this sabzi is light.
I used only chilli powder to flavour this curry, but you can use dhania-jeera powder or other spices that suit your palette.
If you like cauliflower, do try my recipes for Cauliflower Moong Dal Sabzi, Bengali Alu Phool Gobir Dalna, and of course, the famous Punjabi Alu Gobi.
