Gobhi Methi Masala Curry





Ingredients
Gobhi florets ( 1 medium size gobhi )
1 large onion (length wise finely chopped )
1 or 1and half tbsp garlic paste
Methi seeds 1 heaped tbsp
Kasuri methi (1 full medium size bowl. can be more or less)
Yoghurt ( half a cup)
3-5 Green chillies ( slit length wise. according to taste)
1/2 tbsp haldi powder
1 tbsp jeera powder
1 tbsp garam masala powder (optional)
salt

Preparation
Soak kasuri methi in hot water for about 20 minutes prior to cooking.

Method
put 2  tbsp oil in a wok. Add methi seeds and let them turn black. Put onions and fry them till dark brown, then add gobhi florets, salt and fry them on low heat till they are tender and almost fully cooked. You should alternate between keeping the dish covered and stirring the florets to avoid getting them burnt. You can also sprinkle a little water to facilitate the cooking. Add slit chillies, haldi, jeera and garam masala powder and fry  for about 3-5 minutes.
Now remove excess water from kasuri methi and add it to gobhi.Stir and mix well for 2-3 minutes, then add yoghurt. Stir well till excess water is gone and the curry looks dry enough. It should not have any gravy..

Tastes best with hot puri or paratha.
