Hi
Great recipes. We Indians living in west have to often compromise with a lot of stuff (including food) for various reason, either time or accessibility or sometime crazy price put up by Indian stores. So thanks very much and keep up the good work. I am sure there may be a few people who criticize the recipes here but please take that constructively. And not every recipe is going to be palatable. It may look delicious but not for the Indian taste, but it doesn’t hurt trying… But on the other hand we can cook all those recipes which we are accustomed to but don’t know how to cook. Thanks.

hi…
I think we can add little lime juice to the gobi while microwaving…wht do u think…?

Hi Monali,
It’s probably best to add the lime juice at the very end to garnish the cauliflower. This will give it a fresh citrus flavor, not cooked.

also…one more thing Monali,
Sometimes, the addition of sour things prevents vegetables from cooking or lengthens the cooking time.

Hetal and Anuja, keep up the good work. I’ve tried and loved quite a few of your recipes,ncluding the ones posted in the past two weeks like the molten lava cakes, and the chai, which were a huge hit with my family.

Hi, Hetal…
Thanx 4 ur suggetions…I’m just learning frm ur website….

Hi Saveetha,
We will put broccoli recipes down on our list of requests:)
Regarding 1/2 cooking the gobi/cauliflower on the stove-top, we would suggest that you steam it. It will retain more flavor and nutrition as opposed to boiling.
If steaming does not suit you, cut the florets into smaller pcs. and cook on the skillet (covered initially and then open).
Hope that helps:)

hi hetal, anuja,
can we use frozen cauliflower? directly from the packet to microwave?
[Reply]
March 3rd, 2009 at 8:54 pm
You can use frozen Cauliflower but you will have to defrost it first and then follow the recipe including semi-cooking it in the microwave.

How do you serve tava gobi? What does it go with? Just curious? Is it like a chat or more like a dry subzi on the side?
[Reply]
March 12th, 2009 at 7:50 pm
Hi Satya,
Tawa Gobi can be served as a dry subzi or accompaniment to your regular meal. It is not substantial enough to be a chat item.

V good recipe. I usually make paranthas from gobi, but i tried this ans i will make it often now…thank you.

Hi Hetal and Anuja,
I made this cauliflower dish and I loved it. I was amazed at how easy it was to make. I was wondering if I could make Gobi Manchurian by cooking the cauliflower this way rather than frying it. By the way, I have tried your gobi manchurian recipe and it was fantastic. I was thinking of a healthy alternative. Let me know what you think.

Hi CK,
A better option might be to steam the gobi in the microwave with a little salt, toss it with a little oil and broil it in the oven. This way, it won’t be flattened out.

Hi Hetal and Anuja,
I tried this recipe and it came out awesome. I liked the taste so much that I was loathe to share it with my son and husband. My son is usually picky with new tastes but, after eating a small bite he wanted more and my husband was laughing at my disappointed face because my share got depleted.

Love your recipes and thank you for making your recipes so easy to follow and make!

I like your recipes. Try to fry the cauliflower and then add salt, this makes the cauliflower not go soggy and makes it brown very well eliminating the need to flatten. Also spring onions and cauliflower make a great combination.
