Gobi is one of my favourites and unfortunately I cant eat too much of it because of thyroid issues. I have always made it as a dry or as Alu Gobi. Will be sure to try this tomato gravy one.

yes I also make it the same way. I add cashew nuts also for the rich gravy. It becomes more delicious when fenugreek leaves are added.

Thank you. I can’t use any nuts as my kitchen is nut free.😊
