Cauliflower cooked in onion and tomato base, to a semi dry consistency. Goes well with both rice and roti as sabji.
One of my kid’s favorite, I make once in every 10 days…! I make as accompaniment for sambar and rice.
Goes well with chapathis too. I have made this with less oil. If you want you can continue frying until the masala turns deep red by adding oil towards end. More of south Indian style curry.
