Phulkopir Torkari

Today I am going to post something for my vegan friends. This is especially for you Meenu, cauliflower curry bong style! I have never tasted this curry as I am allergic to cauliflower, but Joy simply loves it. Well, not that he has a choice. :)

Anyways, next time, I will try and find a healthier recipe for you and Ash since I know you both are trying to reduce fried food.

I generally cut the cauliflower into large sized florets and slit the potatoes lengthwise into 4 pieces. I make garam masala at home by grinding cinnamon, cloves, elaichi in a grinder. If you are pressed for time, you can always use the packet variety that is readily available across most grocery stores.

Cauliflower - small size
Potatoes - 2
Green chilli - 2
