    Achari Gobi Recipe with step by step photos. Cauliflower cooked in pickle spices that can be served either with any variety rice of your choice or with parathas and rotis.

    “Achar” means Pickle and “Achari” means pickling using a mix of spices and “Gobi” is Cauliflower. So this is literally a very spicy dish in which cauliflower is cooked using the spices that is used for pickling.

    I love Cauliflower (Gobi) and I spicy food. So with this “Achari Gobi” I get to enjoy both. I particularly love rolling them in Chapathis, drizzle an extra dash of either lemon juice or tomato ketchup on top and eating it.

    Though the pickle spices can be added as such, I always grind to a coarse powder as my children complain of the spices coming in the way while eating it. You can also grind the spices to a fine powder before using.

    While growing up “Sen” Aunty used to prepare this Achari Gobi in Mustard oil and I never quite liked the flavor of it and neither did I appreciate the whole spices added as such. But now I’m really pushing myself to use mustard oil and I’m actually liking it. Its not that bad after all.

    Usually "Amchur powder” which is nothing but dried mango powder is added to bring in the sour element to this dish but since I do not always have it stocked, I use lemon juice instead which does the job well for me.
