Scrumptious Dum Gobi/Whole Cauliflower in Rich and Spicy Gravy

Scrumptious Dum Gobi/
Whole Cauliflower in Rich and Spicy Gravy 
Hi Friends,
One more dish form my wish list. This is so rich and scrumptious gravy dish. I always wanted to make this. Its a good option for non-vegetarian guests. I have seen very few people making this and whoever cooks it they just cut the cauliflower florets and make them just like dum aloo. But i like it this way as it attracts people to try it. You can take big, medium or small cauliflower but don't cut them. Use whole flower to make it. You can use shahi masala of any brand or you can use any masala used for rich gravy. Its a bit time consuming as you need to boil whole gobi and carefully keep an eye on it otherwise it will be overcooked and become  mushy. But its not at all tricky you just need to be careful. So try it and if you have any doubts then ask me here. 

Ingredients:-
Gobi/Cauliflower - 1 big or 2 medium or 3 small
Onion - 2 medium pureed
Tomato - 2 medium pureed
Garlic - 8-10 pods pureed

Coriander seeds - 1/2 tsp

sorry for bad pics
Notes:-
  1. Spices are most important in this recipe. Don't skip any spice.
  2. You can replace Shahi masala with any of your favorite masala as you use for mughlai recipes.
  3. You can add green or more red chilly to spice it up.
  4. Do not overcook gobi. It should remain firm after boiling.
  5. Always cook covered after adding gobi in the gravy. It will help gobi to soak all spices and gravy. 
HOPE YOU WILL LIKE IT

    1. dear shirley gobi means cauliflower, dum gobhi means you should cook in completely closed vessel, like i made gravy added boiled cauliflower and cooked covered so that all spices should be merged in cauliflower. Try this with your favorite spices available at your place.
