I am new to Indian cooking and want to understand about the chilis. These are hot chilis correct? Is there a particular name of the chilis to look for? Intriguing recipe!

Once i visited to my brahmin friend''s house on occasion of his son NAMKARAAN. There in food menu VARAAN-Bhaat was offered. A plain rice with nicely thick dal, topped with 2 full spoons of Desi Ghee and a dash of lime juice. I cannot forget that first taste which satisfied my soul. Search for Varaan-Bhaat recipe on TarlaDalal.com. Informed my wife to go through this recipe to make and she gone through and did very well. She Glance through other recipes like masala-bhaat, tendli-bhaat, matki-bhaat. Now everyday is best treat for me at home.

I was so bored of having the typical cauliflower subzi. This recipe is a great change. You can have this subzi just like that also, its so delicious. It goes well with rotis and phulkas also. The paste of onions and green chillies gives a good spice to it.

One thing I love about your website/app is that I can make many of the recipes - like this one - with things I already have on hand. The flavor of the creamy cauliflower belies how simple it is - both in method and in the short, common list of ingredients. 15 minutes from start to finish using an electric pressure cooker (set cauliflower for 0 minutes, and prepped everything else while it steamed; saute function for the remaining steps), which is a very small time investment for the huge payoff!
