At one of my lunchtime Indian buffets is a dish a swoon over whenever they have it. I tend to load up my plate with this dish (and not their rather dry Tandoori Chicken) and go back for seconds. It's Gobi Masala, which is spicy cauliflower.
Should I go ahead and mention Wifey despises cauliflower? (what doesn't she despise?)
I searched the net and found a recipe before. But, I never found the time to make it. This is the second try at it. The first time was as a side dish at a recent dinner party. I made it too salty and was in such a hurry I forgot to add the garam masala near the end of the meal.
It's spicy!
Cauliflower, diced onions and minced garlic.
Heat up, in hot oil for about 30 seconds, some black mustard seeds (this seems optional based on recipe provider's personal preference it seems).
Add in salt, diced onions and garlic.
Toss in the cauliflower.
And on top of that mix in the following spices: ginger, tumeric, cumin, cinnamon, cayenne, and asafoetida (hing power - I had to drive to the Indian market to get this). Add water, stir it well, watch it turn a mustard color.
Let the cauliflower steam (add more water as needed) to get the texture of cauliflower you personally prefer.
And it's spicy for the tummy!
YUM! looks delish.
