Notes

  1. Cut the cauliflower into bigger chunks otherwise the 2 mins pressure cook time might not work for you.
  2. Add less water, enough to submerge the gobi florets by 30%. Refer the video.
  3. Sometimes the cooking time varies according to the quality of the cauliflower. Increase the cooking time by 1-2 mins accordingly.
