Gobi Stir Fry Dry Recipe-Cauliflower Stir Fry-How to make gobi fry

السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته

Gobi Stir Fry recipe or in other words cauliflower stir fry recipe is a very popular recipe of India. Almost all households in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh make this Gobi or cauliflower in their own version.

And my home is no different. The gobi or the cauliflower is a favorite in our household too. Naturally, it’s not very surprising that I make some form of cauliflower dish as often as possible.

Mostly I just make this gobi stir fry recipe or the gobi methi.

Another wonderful variation of this gobi stir fry recipe is making the gobi with the potatoes/aloo. I simply love the potatoes with the cauliflower.

Some people even add mutton to the gobi or cauliflower too. Another variation of this similar recipe is the cabbage stir fry or the gobi gosht recipe or the patta gobi methi recipe.

This is my take on making one of the many variations of the much loved cauliflower. I use very minimal spices in this recipe and cook on very low heat without adding water.

The cauliflower gets cooked with the steam that gives this dish it’s distinct taste and flavor. There is no need to add a lot of oil too. It gets cooked with very little amount of oil and yet just tastes so amazing.

This stir fry version of gobi tastes great with chapatis, phulkas and even bread or with simply plain rice and some dal.  It also tastes good as a side veggie dish with jeera rice and some bengali dal. Pack this gobi stir fry recipe with some chapati in the tiffin box to get the tiffin box empty in the evening.

let’s get started with the step by step gobi stir fry recipe

This first step is purely optional and only if you get cauliflower which has insects in them. As I live in Dubai, I hardly get insects in the cauliflower.

Most of the time, I simply break and cut the cauliflower in small pieces. But if you live in India or any other place where we get insects in cauliflowers, simply follow this method to get rid of them.

Cut the cauliflowers into small floret and rinse them thoroughly. Then blanch the florets in hot salted water for about 15 to 20 minutes. Drain them and set them keep aside. Now the cauliflower is ready to use.
