GOBHI MATAR BHURJI
Cauliflower remains one of our favourite vegetables. This is evident from the number of dishes you will find in this blog made with cauliflower. For example, you can check out the delicious Masala Cauliflower, the easy to make but yummy Gobhi Besan Subzi, and Schezwan Gobhi Matar made in the Indian-Chinese style.
Today's recipe is for a bhurji made with two popular veggies, cauliflower (Gobhi in Hindi) and Green Peas ( Matar in Hindi). Bhurji or Burji is a side dish that is served as an accompaniment for Indian breads such as rotis, naans and the like.
I have adapted this from Gobi Bhurji by the reputed cookery expert, Nisha Madhulikaji. I have not done this but if you wish you can add 1 chopped onion after the cumin seeds sizzle and saute till it becomes translucent.
