Gobhi Musallam ka Pota Style

🇮🇳 Indian

Cauliflower florets bathed in saffron-yogurt gravy, the mini mussallam for weeknights. Slow-built masala, soft centres and a gravy that clings to the spoon. Ladle over steamed rice with sliced onions on the side.

  2. 2

    Add ginger garlic paste with a splash of water and scrape up the browned bits.

  3. 3

    Add the tomato with turmeric, chili and coriander powder; fry till the masala darkens and splits.

    Stir in the cauliflower and yogurt, saute five minutes, then add hot water and cook covered until done.

Chef's tip

Hot water, never cold, keeps the gravy from turning greasy and dull.
