Mutter Gobi (Peas & Cauliflower)

I grew up on different variations of this dish. You can keep it as simple as the one here or go all fancy with 20 different spices and condiments. I keep it very simple! This is healthy, yummy and easy which is my ‘Mantra’ for cooking.

Health benefits of cruciferous vegetables are known. One cup of cauliflower has 3 grams of fiber (10% of our daily need), 3 grams of protein, and is rich in antioxidants like sulforaphane, glucosinolates, isocyothionates (antioxidants). One cup of green peas has 7 grams of fiber and 8 grams of protein.
