This is a very simple dry curry/poriyal prepared with cauliflower. It goes well with both rice and all Indian breads. My family loves this curry very much. I have added ginger as it aids in digestion and also because my family loves it. Those who do not like the taste of ginger can omit that. Today we will learn how to make gobi/cauliflower sabji following this easy recipe.
Wash cauliflower well. Boil water with a little salt, a pinch of turmeric powder and add cauliflower florets to it. Keep it closed for 10 minutes. Drain the water and keep it aside.
Wash, peel the skin and chop potatoes into cubes.
When potatoes are half cooked, add cauliflower florets.
Add chilli powder, coriander powder and salt needed. Cook covered on medium heat, stirring now and then until the raw smell of the spices goes and the cauliflower is coated well with the masala. If needed you can sprinkle water in between while cooking.
Enjoy Cauliflower/gobi curry with rice, chapati or any Indian bread.

I was searching for a curry recipe with cauliflower and got this one.. I tried this today and it tasted great.. Thanks for your recipe! Keep up your good work!
Thanks for your easy but scrumptious recipes. One questio, what's the purpose behind soaking florets in warm turmeric added water? Is this an important step. I learnt it for the first time
Soaking cauliflower in hot water with a little salt and turmeric powder gets rid of small worms, if any present in the cauliflower.
Yesterday night I prepared this curry it tastes great and awesomebmy kids and hubby loved it thanks
I tried it , but when I start to fry cauliflower is leaving water , how to avoid it ?
Pat the cauliflower florets dry with a kitchen towel.
