Ingredients for Cauliflower Kurma Recipe
Onion
Onions are considered a basic ingredient or the foundation of Indian cooking and are used to make any gravy, curry, or bhuna dish. The flavour and aroma of onion transforms any ordinary dish into a mouthwatering and delectable one.
Cauliflower
Over the years, cauliflower has been selectively bred to develop a generally nutty and almost sweet flavour. Due to this, it is a desirable vegetable to consume and serve.
Turmeric Powder
The turmeric root is quite bitter, but has an almost citrusy taste, compared to the powder. Turmeric also has something of a sweet taste, and it is quite earthy. When you use the powder, you're unlikely to notice the texture unless you use a substantial amount, but it is somewhat gritty.

Frequently Asked questions
Is korma actually Indian?
The Mughlai cuisine of the Indian subcontinent is where korma first appeared. It dates to the 16th century and the Mughal incursions into the area, making it a typical Mughal dish.
Cauliflower kurma is made from cauliflower, peas, coconut, nuts, spices, and herbs. This warming side dish, which is lightly spiced and flavorful, is absolutely delicious.
Why cauliflower is called Gobi?
The Mongol language's word for a barren desert is gobi, which Europeans corrupted into cobi. However, the majority of the land was covered in low grass, gravel, or scrub, giving rise to the general name "gobi," which in Mongolian means "stony desert."
