Gobhi Musallam (Keto Modified, no thickeners)
Whole Roasted Cauliflower in Rich Gravy (Keto Modified)
Yes, with a tweak: confirm no flour (besan/maida/cornstarch) is used for thickening the gravy. About 15g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Indian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A grand, aromatic dish where a whole cauliflower is roasted or pan-fried and then served with a rich, creamy, and spicy gravy. The keto version uses cashew or almond paste for thickening instead of flour, ensuring a luxurious texture without the carbs.
Key ingredients
Whole cauliflower, cashew paste/almond paste (for thickening), heavy cream, onions, ginger-garlic paste, yogurt (optional), tomatoes (minimal), turmeric, red chili powder, coriander powder, garam masala, saffron, salt, ghee/butter, cooking oil.
How to make it keto
Crucially, confirm no flour (besan/maida/cornstarch) is used for thickening the gravy. Request cashew/almond paste for richness. Ensure no added sugar in the gravy. Keep onion and tomato moderate.
Say this to the waiter (Hindi)
गोभी मुसल्लम की ग्रेवी में बेसन, मैदा या कॉर्नस्टार्च जैसा कोई आटा गाढ़ा करने के लिए न हो। गाढ़ेपन के लिए काजू या बादाम का पेस्ट इस्तेमाल करें। चीनी न हो। प्याज और टमाटर भी कम रखें।
