Achari Gobi

Spicy, tangy cauliflower florets cooked with indian spices in a yogurt gravy.

I wanted to make a cauliflower dish which would go well with phulkas. The name of the dish itself was mouth-watering. I gave it a try. Trust me, the kick of the mild flavours you get on the first bite is a bouncer! I bet, you wont be disappointed too.
