Author Notes: My twist on an Indian classic. - micki barzilay - micki barzilay
Food52 Review: Micki Barzilay's Cauliflower - Gobi - Indian style is a hearty, healthy, delicious vegetarian main dish just right for supper on a cool fall evening. Micki pairs the cauliflower with canned chickpeas instead of potatoes (as in traditional Aloo Gobhi)) a nice little trick that streamlines preparation and cooking time. With juicy tomatoes, one cup of water was more than enough. Also note the sweet spicy mustard called for is a prepared mustard, not mustard seeds. I served this Gobi with brown rice, and mixed the leftovers together for a great brown bag lunch. The chopped cilantro makes a fresh, pungent garnish that really compliments the soft, tangy cooked vegetables. - Apple Annie - A&M

Hi Micki, I enjoyed eating this flavorful dish for dinner tonight. I have a few questions though, since you said you might have made typos: did you mean 1 teaspoon of MARSALA wine or 1 teaspoon of garam MASALA the Indian spice blend? Also, is the spicy & sweet mustard a PREPARED mustard, and not mustard seed (a common ingredient in Indian cooking)? Thanks so much for clarifying these ingredients, and thanks for sharing such a nice recipe!

Hi Annie,
Thank you for your nice comment ...and yes indeed , I meant Garam Marsala ( not Marsala wine) and yes a prepared sweet & spicy mustard (vs mustard seed). If you have a Trader Joe's - they have the sweet and spicy mustard I like...if not any high quality sweet and spicy mustard would work.

P.S.Though you can also add mustard seed ( heat oil till hot then quick saute mustard seeds ) primarly for texture and presentation . The other option to kick it up is using whole peppercorns heated in the same way as the mustard seed.

Thanks for the thumb's up and willingness to EP it...which I had not realized someone else had upped for...but would still be interested to hear what YOU think if you do end up making it. In return I can't wait to try your Mac and Cheese...my partner is Italian & from NY thus he loves anything pasta but especially Mac and Cheese and far too often when we are at Whole Foods he is the one "sampling " the mac and cheese from the hot food bar ! So I may be able to divert him by making your dish instead! Thanks again for your comments.

planning to make it this wed am and will post in comments... on wed am i try to cook wed dinner since i work aft and eve, leave food for family and bring food for work. this sounds perfect with plain rice.
I just went to yr profile to look up the recipe. Can't believe the cheesy cauliflower is the first time i noticed yr recipes. Goes to show how many great recipes on the site!
The Mac and Cheese is good, but for a healthy Northern Californian might be a shock to the system... I love it, though. If you get to NYC, City Bakery on 18th St. makes my family's fave mac and cheese. Also has a salad bar to end all salad bar and pretzel croissants.
