I remember during my childhood days, when Gobhi Matar Keema used to be my favourite dish in the winters. With the advent of winters, requests start pouring out from all of us and Matar Gobi Keema will be one of them; we used to have it with so much relish. Till this day, whenever I prepare this dish, memories from my childhood days would come gushing out reminding me of those wintry days.
Cauliflower (Gobi) is nowadays available during every season; especially in metro cities, but my mom believes in a simple theory that “Gobi ka swad sardiyon mein hi hota hai” (she believes winter is the best season for cauliflower, the real taste comes out only this time).
