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.
Method
