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.
It happened one fine evening when I visited my parents during their dinner time. As soon as they saw me, they offered this dish to eat. It was green and I didn't even look further than that and took a bite. With a reaction that said "Ahgguu what's that!", I gave it back again. Dad was surprised and said how I could react like that on a dish that they loved so much. It took me a moment to get that sink and I realized I offended them. It was a spontaneous reaction because of the strong mint flavour. I know I could have controlled my reaction. So to mend things I took another bite to taste and realized it was good, only you got to see the dish and understand that it's made with mint and gobi. Anyway I asked Amma for the recipe and made myself acquainted well with it.
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.
