Simple Cauliflower Fry

1. Contributor: UJVALA
nenu last week itlaa chesanu :

green chillies, ginger, cilantro, shredded coconut, salt anni grind chesaa;
moong dal soak chesaa oka 20 mins atleast;

inka, regular popu petti (urad dal, jeera, mustards, curry leaves, chana dal, turmeric),
chopped cauliflower vesi, soaked moong dal vesi, chilli paste vesi, mottam okasari stir chesi, medium flame, closed lid, 5-7 mins cook chesaa;

tarvata open lid tho oka 10 mins occassionally stirring, cook chesaa...
lightga corriander powder vesaa;

anthe, super nachindi, andariki...

small tweak for the salt..
in the recipe that i gave you..
chilli pastelo konchem salt add chesukondi;
the remaining salt, add it after u add gobi florets to the pan;
that way salt acts as moisture, and since u will close the lid and cook initially, u do not need water;
naku enduko water add cheste, mushyga anipistundi; so, max avoid chestha water lekunda;

gud luck... :)

2. Contributor: ♡♡$я€€
