Kasuri Gobhi Recipe

Hello Beauties, I am a foodie person and I love to eat all kind of food. When we shifted from India to Holland we didn’t know that there is big vegetable market here where you get all kind of veggies which you get in India. The result of this ignorance – for almost 6 months we ate only potato, cabbage, cauliflower and spinach. To create tasty food and bring more variety on dinner table from these limited options I had to be more creative with my cooking skill.  Today I am going to share one such recipe which I love to prepare and it is called “Kasuri gobhi”. I first took the recipe from one website, but I made my own variations over the time.

So let’s take it step by step-

1 medium cauliflower

1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp red chilli powder
