Gobi Masala (Gobi Masala Gravy) - Restaurant Style Recipe

Gobi / Cauliflower Masala  is one of my favs...I wanted to try it this way after watching a TV show and finally gave a try and hubby loved it so much. Adding cream and kasoori methi gives it a restaurant kind of flavour, am sure you will agree with me after tasting this. Mittu loves gobi 65 and is slowly starting to taste gravy kinds too so this recipe is a winner at home.

Gobi Masala Restaurant Style RecipeMy Notes:
  • For a more richer creamier version add fully cream and skip milk.
  • If you parboil cauliflower then while adding add 1/4 cup water and allow it to cook well.
  • Adding kasoori methi gives a nice flavour so dont skip it.
  • You can make it even more dry gravy kind too.

  16. Hi Sharmi, I am a regular patron of your blogsite now. Have tried many many recipes from your blogs, and all have come out super successful!! This is another intriguing recipe that I want to try out soon.

    I have one question for you. When you say cook the gobi with salt, do I need to cook it with lots of oil?
