Hari Gobhi: Cauliflower in Mint Sauce

Hari Gobhi is not one of the popular dishes made from the cauliflower. Its taste you have to grow as not many likes the first bite of this vegetable. In fact hari gobhi tastes very good the third time you try it but since it doesn’t taste as expected from the cauliflower so people usually tend to not like it and thus it is not easily available on road side or in the menus of most restaurant. I read this dish somewhere on the net and tried it myself and first bite was they publish anything on the net but by the time I finished the meal I kind of started to like it.
