Cauliflower ghee roast is an another variant to the paneer ghee roast or the chicken ghee roast, the spice blend is quite fragrant and the cauliflower soak up the spices, this is quite an amazing recipe, the masala is quite moist and goes well with a laccha paratha or a hot roti. A recipe that is quite distinct from the normal gobi masala or aloo gobi sabzi, but the flavours turn out to be as promising as its other dishes. Garnish with onion rings and a lemon wedge and enjoy it as an afternoon lunch with your family.
