Delicious dry vegetable made in mustard oil that is served at homes as part of an everyday meal in Punjab.
Everyday Indian curries and sabzi are very different from the oil-soaked gravies that you find in restaurants. Simple and wholesome food that tastes good and is healthy too.
I have always been interested in dishes made from unusual ingredients. So when world over we are talking of reducing wastage especially food waste we have this the theme today as #BestFromWaste at FoodieMondayBlogHop. Who else will suggest such a “bhannat” idea but yours truly!!!
The reason is that we buy cauliflower every week hubby loves it. The stalks I have always used to make stock for soups and gravy. Since I have read about the vegetable that my friend Ritu had posted I have been itching to make it. I requested her the recipe and she kindly shared it with me. Do try it and enjoy.
Stalks and leaves of Cauliflower: Normally I tell my greengrocer to cut off the stalks and leaves of cauliflower but I kept the nutrient-rich stalks of cauliflower and fibre rich stalks.
Mustard Oil: the flavours of the vegetable comes out with mustard oil. Mustard oil is an acquired taste so if you do not like it try with regular oil.
Onion and Tomato: finely chopped onions and tomatoes.
Ginger and Garlic: I used paste but you can use minced ginger and garlic.
Spices: green chillies, cumin seeds, chaat masala, garam masala, turmeric, red chilli powder.
Wash and chop the gobi stalks. You can make them in 2 inch long pieces but in my place, we prefer smaller pieces so I chopped it up. I discarded the tougher stalks but you can use them too.
Finely chop the onions and tomatoes.
Heat the mustard oil add the cumin seeds, saute the onions and ginger and garlic.
Fry the tomatoes till mushy and the oil comes out.
Add the gobi stalks stir well. Cook till done but still crunchy.
Serve garnished with coriander leaves.

The gobhi denthal sabzi sounds flavorful and very easy to cook. I will definitely try out this recipe soon.

I usually throw away the stalks and leaves of cauliflower. I definitely am going to make this easy and healthy veg dish Archana. Awesome way to use up cauliflower stalks.

I've heard about the Gobi Danthal Ki Sabzi commonly prepared in Punjabi households, but have never had a chance to try it out. Now I have this wonderful recipe to use!
Your sabzi looks so inviting, delicious and packed with flavour. Love it! This would be beautiful with some hot rotis!
Sujata Roy says
Gobhi ke danthal ki sabzi looks absolutely delicious Archana. You know we use these gobhi danthal and leaves to make chochchori with baigan, aloo, pumpkin, beans etc. But this sabji with onion garlic and tomatoes also sounds great. I would love to try it sometime.

Subzi with cauliflower stalk and leaves sounds absolutely scrumptious. Such a wonderful recipe and so easy to cook.

Lovely theme, Archana ! I had Gobi ke Danthal too in mind,but changed to stock at the last minute as I was eager to post it ... this must taste delish.. I have ur and Ritu';s recipe now to try.
sasmita says
CAn you believe after discussing for stock, I was in mind to make use of this type of sabji. Then somehow changed my mind and made dish using peels of green peas and stem of cauliflower. The sabji really looks so wonderful !

I loved your Peas skin bhaji. I wanted to try but the peas we get now are older and not somthing that will taste good. Next season though.
