If there ever was a recipe that stayed the longest in my draft, then that honour should surely go to this recipe. Hara Gobi recipe was something that came into our life a long time ago, yet it never made it to the blog as one might expect. If you are a person who loves pungent spicy stuff, then this is a recipe for you. I am really not a person who loves strong pungent flavours in any dish. But if you allow it, this recipe will surely grow on you. It is something that you got to get used too, that is, if you don't like the strong mint flavour like me.
Furthermore Daddy asked how I could react like that being a food blogger. Well I said being a food blogger doesn't mean I can taste and appreciate everything at the first shot. But of course I can learn to appreciate some dishes finally. After all who can say no to a minty Cauliflower! This Hara Gobi is a pungent dry dish that takes you completely by surprise. But then if you are fond of mint and gobi, this must surely be something you can easily lap up.

Love it! I love mint cannot say the same about garlic though. Hubby dear loves garlic and is okay with mint so I will have to find the balance to suit out tastes.
