Tandoori Masala Gobhi(Tandoori Masala in Yoghurt Cauliflower)
"This is a "Saatvik food" recipe that is very very tasty. Did you know that according to Ayurveda, the type of food one eats has an effect on one's thoughts, actions and health. According to this ancient science of life and longevity, food can be categorised into 3 categories: Raajsik, Taamsik and Saatvik. Raajsik food refers to all sour, spicy and hot food. Taamsik food refers to stale food, leftovers, meat and alcohol. Saatvik food is vegetarian food which is neither too spicy nor too hot. Eating Raajsik and Taamsik food is said to promote lust, anger, greed, arrogance and jealousy. Saatvik food tends to keep the mind in control and helps us to concentrate when meditating. It keeps the body healthy and disease-free to a great extent! What's more, a Saatvik diet helps you to lose weight more quickly because you eat healthy without any extra cals! So, what are you waiting for? Step into your kitchen and make this easy dish now!"

I used this marinade on flattened chicken breast strips grilled on skewers and it was fantastic: aromatic, flavorful, tangy. I added garlic powder, ground red pepper and some coriander (had no coriander/cilantro leaves and didn't miss them). I had marinated the meat for 2 days and brushed it w/ butter when it was almost done grilling - breast is so lean. We had the chicken w/ basmati rice cooked in broth & butter and hot mango pickle. Good good good! -
just finished serving this up. It was an absolute hit. Instead of cauliflower I used chickpeas and potatoes and added garlic (6cloves) I made enough for a family of 6 I have no left overs even the pan has been wiped clean. Thank you for posting this recipe Charisma. We will definetly be making this one again. -
We did a vegetable medley instead of pure cauliflower, but wowsa! We loved it at our house. I would like to find more ways to use this sauce. -
I loved this cauliflower. I made some changes... but only becausely I had two different recipes up and I accidently looked at the other recipe. LOL! So I sauteed onion and garlic and dried red pepper before I realized my mistake but it was still wonderful. I also grated some fresh ginger into the saute instead of using it as a garnish. I had greek 0% yogurt so that is what I used, I think it could have been better if I had used a full fat version, but hey its January and I'm watching calories. Also the greek yogurt is so thick that I needed a little broth to thin out the marinde when I added it tot the pan. Thanks so much for posting. Great recipe. -
Very good. I served it with Worth it Curry to company last night and even the person who doesn't like cauliflower said he liked it! Since I didn't have any coriander leaves and we like mild food I left the garnishes out but nobody seemed to think it was lacking in the least. I also used garam masala instead of tandoori because it was all I had. Even with the changes it was a great success and I will certainly be making it again. Thanks for a great recipe!
