Happy thanksgiving everyone, I am sharing my Tandoori Gobhi recipe which makes a excellent centre piece for thanksgiving dinner. All my vegetarian friends this one for you 🙂

Cauliflower is by far the most cooked vegetable in our house. I roast it, steam it, fry it, mash it, pickle it, and even it eat it raw. I pretty much buy a cauliflower on every grocery store trip. There are so many different ways to eat cauliflower, it’s a super versatile vegetable. But of all the ways to cook it, I think whole roasting it is by far the most visually stunning way to cook a cauliflower.Bringing the whole cauliflower to the table on a pretty platter makes for an amazing centerpiece to a vegetarian meal. I especially love to slice into the cauliflower and see the creamy white inside in contrast to the crispy yellow exterior.

Alternately you can cut the cauliflower florets and make it too. Tandoori gobi or you can say barbecued cauliflower is an excellent snack or starter recipe. you can use it either way dry or with gravy ..choice is all yours !!! same marination you can use for any vegetable like Tandoori aloo, Tandoori paneer , Tandoori  mushroom etc. etc.. just tickle your taste buds and enjoy …
