Gobi -Mutter -Paneer Masala/Spiced Cauliflower,Peas and Cottage Cheese

I was trying to make Badhal Gobi as shown in the VaReVah.com. But it ended up little watery as I added more water. To make the gravy thick, I thought of adding ground Cashew nuts and Coconut. It came out really fantastic. It was no longer Badal Gobi. I named it Gobi-Mutter -Paneer masala. Click here to see the original recipe.

Ingredients:

  • 12-15 washed Gobi/Cauliflower florets
