Gobi Ka Kheema Recipe | How to Make Gobi Kheema

Gobi and peas are a match made in heaven. Since Gobi takes a while to cook if you use large chunks, this Gobi Kheema Recipe is a great way to cook a delicious side dish for rice or roti with Gobi and fresh (ok, frozen too) Green Peas.I am in Kottayam now and my niece and nephew are visiting too. They are vegetarians and one day there was just rasam and potato masala for lunch for them. I quickly looked up this recipe and it turned so so yummy that I am sure to make this again and again.
