Chitiyal Gobhi is a mashed cauliflower from Sindhi cuisines made with spices and mashed gobi. This is a seasonal special dish.
Chithal Gobi or Chitiyal Gobhi was a wonderful side dish that Vaishali shared with me when she came to visit us. She suggested making this as a side dish for the Green Garlic Pulao we made that day. These two dishes really paired so well.
This is almost the same way we make, except the method it is prepared. We are starting the new edition for May which is a milestone edition of BM#100 and for the first week I have Regional Side dishes.
I know we just completed our April Mega BM and I had an exhausting time trying to meet the deadline. I somehow managed to do both the series with AtoZ Biryani, Pulao and Khichdi and AtoZ Quick 30 Minutes Meals.
So one of the brainwaves I had was to decide early on that I might end up with some sides dishes as the clause was to feature with apt and complimenting side dishes. Trust me, this is the first time I ever thought of my own work ahead.
And as it happens, I did make some gravies that are useful now. We are starting

Sounds yummy and flavorful.One of the complaints I get from my husband is that I tend to overcook cauliflower and this one seems to be right in my alley where the cauliflower looks like it is mashed. :)Makes a great side dish for rotis and as sandwich stuffing as well.
A simple and delicious winter dish , Chityal Gobhi is my hubby’s favourite . Can you believe I haven’t blogged this dish in all these years?
Glad that you planned ahead and the theme could off load you 🙂
This version of cauliflower sounds wonderful Valli. Mashing it with the spices would make a delicious flavourful side dish.
My boys love cauliflower and this is a different kind of subzi I can make for them. Love how simple it is and it will pair so well with fried rice.
OMG! Such a flavorful mash you got there. My kids are going to love it for sure.
Wow lovely colors and mashing the cauliflower helps it to incorporate with the spices. Next time will try this instead of usual cauliflower masala.
