Hema's recipe - Gobi Mutter

GOBI MUTTER is a north Indian dish consisting of cauliflower and peas in a spicy sauce.

Most of them would put onion & tomato finely chopped. But i like to blend it and add like a sauce that doubles the flavour of the dish and smells great. It goes well with roti, chapathi, phulka etc. It can also be had with variety rice like pulao or veg briyani.
