Gobi Methi Subzi
by Tarla Dalal

Methi is a fabulous ingredient, which adds josh to even humble veggies like the cauliflower. With a splash of spice powders, and peppy ingredients like ginger and garlic, the Gobi Methi Subzi is a real treat for your palate.

It is quite simple to make, and if you follow the instructions properly, you can enjoy a subzi that has a fabulous texture apart from a fascinating flavour.

We have parboiled the gobi initially, so that it comes to the right texture, without getting mushy, after being sautéed with the flavour-givers. Relish the Gobi Methi Subzi hot and fresh.

Serve Gobi Methi Subzi hot and fresh with dal and rotis or parathas .

I made a version of this recipe last night. Boiled the cauliflower florets in boiling salted water with turmeric for only five minutes. That was more than enough otherwise it will get mushy. I used other ingredients as per recipe except for I didn''t have fresh leaves. I used dried methi. I turned out alright. I am afraid to use too much salt or spices to start with so it was kind of bland. Next time I have to use more salt and spices. Thanks for this recipe.
