Gobi Matar



Gobi Matar

Gobi Matar is a side dish which I often make these days for roti. Its winter time and you can start your innovations with the seasonal veggies. Gobi or the cauli flower is rich in nutrients, anti-oxidants and is low in calorie. The very tiny vegetable, green peas is also rich in vitamins, nutrients, folic acid and anti-oxidants. The goodness of both of these are combined together to form a very healthy dish.
