CAULIFLOWER STIR FRY (PHOOL GOBI)

Cauliflower or phool gobhi stir fry.  Though I am not keen in eating this vegetable so as my children, I make it a point to put some florets while making Pav Bhaji as it gets mixed in it well so that my children do not remove it and put aside.  It contains a good source of minerals such as manganese, copper, iron, calcium and potassium apart from vitamin B, C & K.

We can make the subzi with some other vegetables like carrot, potato, green peas or mixed veg, onion etc.  My husband is very fond of this and he prefers the plain subzi.
