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...................................
