I have never been a really big fan of cauliflower, but I love potatoes and spices. This dish, known as 'Alu Ghobi', has long been a favorite vegetable side dish in my kitchen.
It is simple, easy to make and very healthy for you.
One seldom finds a cauliflower dish on the average restaurant menu. But you need not be a vegetarian to thoroughly enjoy Alu Ghobi along side a roasted chicken or kababs.
If you have never had this dish, and you are not a fan of cauliflower - I urge you to give this a try before you swear off cauliflower forever.
