Gobhi -matar sabji / Cauliflower -peas stir fry

Cauliflower and fresh green peas are flooding the markets. Summer is coming close, so I am trying my maximum to consume all the wonderful varieties available 😉

How important are vegetables in our diet, I needn’t go into that. North India is well known for innumerable cauliflower recipes from stir fries, gravies to stuffed flat breads.

Presenting here is Gobhi -matar sabji / Cauliflower -peas stir fry from the Winter Platter 4 – Republic Day special.
