  • 2 tbsp roasted chana dal
  • 5-6 tbsp oil or oil for frying
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • Pinch of hing
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 2 green chilli slits
  • 1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
  • ½ tsp turmeric powder
  • 1 tbsp red chilli powder
  • 1 tbsp coriander powder
  • 1 tsp kitchen king masala
  • ¾ cup tomato puree
  • Salt to taste
  • ½ cup water or as required
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • Some coriander leaves

Instructions

  • Take 500 grams of cauliflower and cut it into medium-sized florets.
  • Now take the cauliflower florets in a mixing bowl, add hot water, ¼ tsp turmeric powder, and salt. Mix well and let the florets soak in water for 10 minutes.
  • In a blender, add 2 tbsp peanuts, 2 tbsp white sesame seeds, 2 tbsp roasted chana dal, and ½ cup water. Grind into a smooth and creamy paste and set aside.
  • In a kadai, heat some oil and add 1 cup fresh green peas. Fry them on medium flame until they become soft. Remove the green peas and set them aside in a bowl.
  • In the same oil, add the cauliflower florets and fry them on medium-high flame until they are soft and 80-90% cooked. Remove them and set aside on a plate.
  • In the pan, with about 5-6 tbsp oil remaining, add 1 tsp cumin seeds, a pinch of hing, and 1 cup chopped onions. Sauté until the onions turn translucent.
  • Add 2 slit green chilies and 1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste. Sauté well.
  • Next, add ½ tsp turmeric powder, 1 tbsp red chili powder, 1 tbsp coriander powder, and 1 tsp kitchen king masala. Add some water and sauté the spices until the oil separates from the sides.
  • Add ¾ cup tomato puree and salt. Sauté the gravy until the oil separates from the sides.
  • Then, add the prepared peanut-sesame-roasted chana dal paste and mix well. Cook the gravy until the oil separates from the sides, and it becomes creamy and grainy.
  • Add ½ cup hot water and mix well.
  • Next, add the fried green peas and cauliflower florets and mix everything thoroughly.
  • Cover and cook the sabji on low flame for 5-7 minutes.
  • Finally, add 1 tsp lemon juice and chopped coriander leaves. Mix well.
  • Gobi Vatana nu Shaak is ready. Serve it with roti or rice.

Notes

  • Cut cauliflower into slightly big pieces; do not cut them into small pieces.
  • Dip cauliflower into turmeric and salt water to remove impurities.
  • The proportion of roasted peanuts, white sesame seeds, and roasted chana dal should be equal.
  • You can use roasted gram flour instead of roasted chana dal.
  • Ground paste enhances the taste of the sabzi.
  • Fry cauliflower on medium-high flame until it becomes slightly soft and is 80-90% cooked.
  • Cook the gravy continuously after adding the paste until it becomes creamy and the oil separates from the sides.
  • Gobi vatana nu shak taste great when it prepared slightly spicy and servt hot.
