AWARD CELEBRATING WITH GOBHI MATAR

Hi Friends,

I recieved wonderful winner's award from Akheela of Torview, thank you so much Akheela. When she announced 'me' as winner, I got surprised really and while I recieved this gift pack, I felt limitless happiness.

Recieved the book safely, while I opened it, got truely astonished. A book with lots of useful information with wonderful recipes, most of the recipes use only a few ingredients and very easy to understand with simple instructions. Simply Love it. Now, you will surely ask about the name of this auspicious book. Yeh, it is "Turbo Charged Recipes", written by Dian Griesel & Tom Griesel.

Here I put the photographs of "Turbo Charged Recipies"......

 

 

My heartiest thanks to you, Akheela.

 

So friends, now celebrating this award with a simple but flavorful dish.....Gobhi Matar. My husband's favorite veg dish. More or less every Indian is familier with this dish, I made in very easy and simple way, with little spices a light gravy still tastes great.

INGREDIENTS:

1 Medium Cauliflower (florets only)

3/4 cup Green Peas (frozen)

1 tsp Ginger paste

1 tsp Garlic paste

2 Green Chillies (chopped)

1/2 tsp Cumin seeds

1/3 tsp Turmeric powder

1 tsp Coriander powder

1/2 tsp Red Chilli powder

1/2 tsp Kitchen King Masala

1/3 tsp freshly pounded Garam Masala

1 Tomato (finely chopped)

2 tbsps Cilantro (finely chopped)

1/2 tsp Sugar (for flavour)

1/2 tsp Clarified Butter (ghee)

3 tbsps Mustard Oil (or any oil)

Salt to taste

 

METHOD:

 

Heat oil in a pan. When oil is enough hot, add cumin seeds, saute for few seconds. Add ginger paste and garlic paste in it. Saute for 1-2 minutes on medium heat.

 

Add chopped green chillies in it. Fry for a minute.

 

Then add turmeric powder, red chilli powder, coriander powder, kitchen king masala, garam masala and 1 tbsp water in it. Fry till spice leaves oil.

 

Add chopped tomatoes, sugar and salt in it. Stir till tomatoes get mushy.

At this time add cauliflower florets in it. Mix florets with the flower nicely (if you add normal green peas, add this time. I used frozen peas, so I added it when cauliflower gets 50% tender). Add 1 cup warm water in it. Fold nicely. Cover and cook for another 6-8 minutes.

 

Add green peas at this time, fold nicely. Cook covered for another 5-6 minutes till cauliflower gets tender.

 

Now add chopped cilantro and clarified butter in it. Fold nicely. Remove from heat.

 

Serve hot with rotis, parathas, puris or simply with steamed rice.
