  •  Do not give so much pressure while rolling the balls.
  •  Here I used almonds and cashews,cucumber seeds and raisins can also be used .
  • Oil should be in a minimum flame otherwise the peda may turned out brown without cooking inside
  • If the oil temperature is very low the pedas may disintegerate in the oil,so make sure to keep a medium temperature.

Cauliflower Masala/Gobi Masala - No tomato Version

Coming to day 2 recipe for the blogging marathon#62,themed under no tomato gravy is a rich and creamy cauliflower aka gobi masala. As my family loves cauliflower,so it appears in my kitchen frequently in some form.I tried this cauliflower curry without tomato and used yogurt and cashews paste.The result was such an awesome and creamy curry. The chilly powder I used was bit spicy so the curry was in the spicier side so squeezed some lemon juice in the end.So adjust the spice level according to your family preference.Lets move on to the recipe.........                                                                                                                     ...
