    hi sowjanya
    tried ur cauliflower masaledar.it came out well. first i was skeptical abt capsicum smell dominating the curry but it was not so. i make similar dish using paneer w’out adding capsicum in the paste. i use it directly. anyways i got another new dish using cauliflower. thanks dear

    Thanks for dropping by deepti. Infact I had the same doubt when I first tried this dish but understood that it tasted good. The paneer version you wrote about is also equally good. Thanks once again.

    Anon,

    Thanks for dropping by. I'd try posting your recipe soon. The reason I use poppy seeds in dishes is they give a nutty flavor to your dishes and also a good add on for gravy dishes. Sometimes when I run out of poppy seeds I substitute the same with cashew nuts. I also use a combination of poppy seeds & cashew nuts in my non veg curry's especially chicken.
