Spicy Gobi Masala/Spicy Cauliflower Curry


Coming to the Cookbook Challenge I chose a recipe from one of my recipe booklet came along with pressure cooker.
In the original recipe,the curry is made in the pressure cooker with one whistle.As I was not sure how the cauliflower would be after pressure cook so made it in the open pan.I reduced the chilly powder from the original recipe,as I feed for kids the same curry.The curry/masala came out so creamy and delicious with perfect spicy and I paired up with rotis for our dinner.Off to the recipe...................................

    Rava Kozhukattai/Rava Pidi kozhukattai

    For the alphabet R,I decided to make something with rava aka semolina.But I have blogged most of the  rava recipes  in Tamil cuisine. When I was going through the cook books and hand written recipes,rava kozhukattai caught my attention. The method of making this kozhukattai is same as  upma kozhukattai ,whereas rava/semolina is used instead of rice.Both sweet and savory versions can be made with semolina.As we had lot of sweet dishes in the previous week I made the savory version.Soon share the sweet version.This is a great option for evening snack and I served with coconut chutney.Lets move on to the  recipe............                                                                                          ...
