Gujarati Cauliflower, Potato and Peas

This is an amazing way to transform veggies into something extraordinary. A recipe passed down the generations, I’ve watched my mother and my grandmother cook this as a staple dish. We eat it as a side with dhal, rice and chapattis but you can also serve it as a veggie side with meat dishes. On a restaurant menu it may well be described as ‘ Gobhi Aloo Muttar’

Serves 6 as a side
