Chef Ranveer Brar Shares The Right Way To Clean Gobi Along With Easy Cauliflower Popcorn Recipe

Gobi (cauliflower) pakoras on a rainy day are a match made in heaven. But before cooking the vegetable, it is important to first clean it properly, especially in a season when pests and insects often find shelter in such vegetables.

In his words, “In a bowl, mix salt and water. Then add the cut florets of cauliflower into the water. Let it soak and then rinse it in the water before taking it out. The benefit of soaking in salt water is that the pests that are often present in the vegetable, especially in the monsoon season, come out.”

“And it is not just cauliflowers that need this treatment. If one is cooking with broccoli and cabbage in winter, which sometimes contain pests as well, the same treatment can be used to get rid of them.”

In his blog, the chef also shared an easy recipe to make gobi popcorn, which is the perfect indulgent snack for the stormy season. The detailed steps to make the dish are as follows.
