My Mum’s Mouthwatering… “Adrakh wali Gobi” (Cauliflower Fry flavored with Ginger)

And yet, another Gobi dish.  I bring you this mouthwatering dish my Mum taught me how to make.  I couldn’t believe how easy this was with loads of flavor.  You literally need 3 main ingredients… cauliflower, ginger, and green chilly.  This is a simple fry dish cooked in ginger and North Indian spices.  I made this dish for 2, and there were no leftovers.  For all you beginners out there, this is a great dish to try.  Serve with roti.  Hope you love it!
