Cauliflower Masala (Gobi masala)

             All vegetarians have to be satisfied with some specials made out of this veg when the non veg lovers treat themselves with chicken or mutton.Good spicy dishes can be made out of this.Cauliflower will attract worms and so should be boiled with a pinch of salt first. This vegetable is known to be gassy and should be avoided by  new and lactating moms. 
                                                         This recipe is a very easy and tasty one.It goes well with the soup rice which I blogged yesterday (Thakkali Soup).It will be excellent with curd rice also and will hardly take 10 to 15 minutes to cook.
