1. Not Cleaning Gobhi Properly

Many people skip soaking cauliflower in salt water. This step helps clear hidden dirt and insects before cooking.

2. Cutting Uneven Pieces

If the pieces are not the same size, some will overcook while others stay firm. Always cut gobhi into even florets.

3. Adding Too Much Water

Gobhi releases moisture on its own while cooking. Adding extra water can make the dish watery and bland.

4. Overcooking The Gobhi

Cooking it for too long makes cauliflower mushy and dull. Cook only until it turns tender yet slightly firm.

5. Not Frying The Spices Properly

Spices need a few seconds in hot oil to release their aroma. Adding gobhi too soon can reduce the flavour.

6. Skipping High Heat At The End

A short burst of high heat at the end gives gobhi a lightly roasted texture. This step enhances both taste and appearance.
