Gobhi Aalu Shorbedar

                            Gobhi Aalu Shorbedar 

Shorbedar gobhi aalu  or cauliflower potato in gravy is a very delicious side dish of Uttar- Pradesh,India. Usually I have noticed that in other parts of India, people generally do not know that gobhi can be cooked in gravy, they prepare bhuna masala or latpata. We have many dishes that are made with gobhi and especially in Indian winters,when the flavor of gobhi is exotic,this sabzi with rice,dal and roti is beyond comparison.
