CAULIFLOWER MASALA ROAST/GOBI MASALA FOR DOSA

There was a huge stock of cauliflower lying with me. As it was weekend I made up my mind to do something special but I was sure of not doing two separate dishes for the family and for my baby. So I made this less spicy version of Gobi masala and packed it in a crispy roast for my family and made it side dish for my son for KAL DOSA. I was satisfied with the outcome and my family relished it. My son was so happy to have the masala as such. You can include this type of dry gravy in your baby food around 8 months plus since it is less spicy and almost blended well. Your toddlers will love this combination as a roast. The stuffing can go well with rice and roti too.
