How to Use Fresh Cauliflower

For a classic Aloo Gobi, cook florets with potatoes, cumin, turmeric, and coriander powder until tender and golden. Gobi Manchurian — crispy battered florets in a tangy Indo-Chinese sauce — is a crowd-pleasing starter. Roast whole florets with olive oil and spices for a simple side, or blitz into Cauliflower Rice as a low-carb alternative. Cauliflower also makes a rich, creamy Gobi Soup and is the star of Gobi Paratha.

Storage Tips

Store in the refrigerator in a perforated plastic bag, stem-side down. Use within 5–7 days. To freeze, blanch florets for 3 minutes, cool, and freeze in portions — use directly from frozen in cooked dishes.
