Indian Cauliflower Curry - Gobi Masala

Indian Cauliflower Curry

Gobi Masala

 

Today I am travelling to India...thanks to this great recipe from my former colleague, Bishal. This is also a bit of a time travelling back to March 2019 when our Indian colleagues prepared an amazing dinner for our team and we had a great time together at Czech Inn, Prague. And maybe one day I will finally find myself in India and will have a chance to enjoy all its unique aromas and flavours. Till then I travel by food.
