gobi ke danthal ki sabzi

Gobi ke danthal ki sabzi recipe – a dry spiced curry made from cauliflower stalks and leaves. A vegan dish.

This recipe of gobi danthal is a family recipe. We have been making this sabzi for years. A homely and everyday Punjabi recipe. Don’t expect any restaurant flavors or taste in this one. This dish belongs to the vast collection of recipes that are cooked everyday in Indian homes.

This gobi danthal dry curry is mildly spiced with the flavors of mustard oil coming through. Mustard oil gives the dish its pungent punch in the flavor department.

Serve gobi ke danthal ki sabzi with rotis, parathas or as a side dish with dal rice combo.

There are many lesser known Indian recipes which are made from veggie peels or leaves that are usually discarded by us. E.g. Banana peel thoran made with raw unripe banana peels. There are also chutneys and stir fried dishes made from bottle gourd, ridge gourd and even bitter gourd peels. Over a period of time, we are losing these recipes as we don’t realize that some vegetable peels, leaves or roots also carry nutritional value.

So next time, when you buy cauliflower for making your favorite Gobi recipes Like Aloo gobi, Cauliflower fry, Gobi matar then don’t throw away the stalks. Instead save it and try this homely gobi danthal recipe.
