    Gobi Matar Masala Recipe or Cauliflower Peas Masala is an easy-to-make side dish using the seasonal best produce and is No Onion No Garlic. Serve this for any roti or Rajasthani Tikar for a filling meal.

    During our Thali Mega Marathon, I had opted to feature different traditional Flatbreads from the different Indian States. Rajasthani Tikkar aur Sabzi Thali showcased the Tikkar roti. The side dishes were this Gobi Matar Masala, Rajasthani Pakoda Kadhi. For sweet, it is the famous Churma Ladoo.

    This gobi matar masala is a no onion no garlic recipe, different from the other versions already shared on the site like this Cauliflower Peas Curry, Cauliflower Curry, Gobi Masala.

    We make a typical Cauliflower Masala Curry to serve with Tomato Pulao or this simple Cauliflower Curry for rotis. During the winter season, we make the best of the fresh vegetable to make dishes like this Vegetable Nilgiri Korma or Mixed Vegetable Kurma.

    Today's recipe is without onions and garlic. So it is an apt side dish to make during fasting. It also uses a masala paste that makes this gravy very creamy. I have adapted this recipe from Nisha Madhulika collection.
