Achari Gobhi & Brussels Sprouts, an aromatic and spicy stir fry flavored with pickling spices.It goes well with roti, phulka or any indian flat-bread variety. This is a no onion recipe. I had few left over brussels sprouts, so made use of them here. You can try this recipe with half the quantity of cauliflower and brussels sprouts. Cut the sprouts into 2-4 halves, this way the masala will get coated well inside.
Mostly, for achari preparation, either mustard oil or gingelly oil is used, both of them gives strong flavor. I have used organic groundnut oil which gives unique flavor. You can replace amchur powder with lemon juice. Instead of using cauliflower florets, you can use this spices to prepare roasted whole cauliflower.
