Achaari Gobhi ( Pickled Cauliflower)

Spicy gobhi full of flavor in the achaar (pickle) masala.  Had an idea on how to make this dish, but still wanted to take a sneak peak.  Searched on the net and came across Sanjeev Kapoor’s recipe so I decided to watch his video.  Glad I did that, because his secret ingredient made this dish awesome.

 Ingredients:

  • 1 gobhi ( cut into medium size florets)
  • 1/2 tsp mustard seeds
  • 1/2 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1/4 tsp methi seeds
  • 1/2 tsp kalonji (onion seeds)
  • 3/4 tsp achaari masala (used homemade)
  • 1/2 tsp red chilli powder
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric
  • 2 tbsp sour cream (Sanjeev Kapoor’s secret ingredient was yogurt)
  • salt to taste
  • chopped cilantro to garnish
  • olive oil

Directions:

First of all, cut the gobhi florets, wash them and set aside.  In a kadhai, add oil and let it heat up a little.  Then add mustard, cumin, methi, kalonji seeds and let it splutter.

Add turmeric, red chili powder, salt and achaari masala and mix well. Cover and let it cook for a few minutes, say about 5-6 minutes.   Uncover and add sour cream and mix it all together.  Cover again to cook for about 2-3 minutes.  Uncover and let it roast until you the sour cream dries up and kind of looks like hugging the gobhi.  Garnish with chopped cilantro.
