umm, in a tablespoon or two of oil, place a tiny bit kala zeera, finelt chopped adrak, n a lil sprinkle of red crush pepper and saute the gobi.

Steam cook , and sprinkle black (rock) salt, Black peper and it will be really nice. No Oil needed for this.

you just want to cook cauliflower alone? do you like mixing it with other veggies..like peas, potatoes or brocolli?

i usually cook cauliflower in karahi..i add masalas first..like salt, chilli powder, turmeric powder..then add cauliflower..let it simmer in water for a while..once its almost done..then i add tomatoes or tomato paste at the end.

I don't mind adding stuff to the gobi....I just saw a nice one at the store and I picked it up.
Qrius, do you add oil? and how much?

Make a masala of onions, tomatoes , peppers, salt, mirchi etc in a bit of oil. Then add the gobi and steam cook it.

You can roast cauliflower in the oven too. I usually lay out the florets on a baking sheet and spray it with a little oil and then sprinkle with salt, rosemary and paprika.

Gobi in stir fry is good, but nothing beats gobi and aloo, yummy.

what would you eat that with??

^^ with some yogurt

great for when you are dieting

the rule is not to over fry the gobi, so when the masala is made, add the aloo gobi, fry for 2-3 mins and then add a little water and let it steam cook on low heat,

that way u get the benefit of having a cooked handi, and healthy vegetables!!(as the individual veggies can b seen in this type of cooking)

if u need further detail............

hinna, i have tried cauliflower without oil as well as with as little as sprayed surface..its up to you..if you are strict about oil..then you don't have to use it.

As for adding other vegetables..i have made cauliflower with potato..cauliflower with peas..cauliflower with peas, potatoes, brocolli..and cauliflower with peas, potatoes, tomatoes, capsicum and paneer (not cheese but the desi one)
