Cauliflower capsicum masala recipe, Gobi capsicum masala

Cauliflower capsicum masala/ Gobi capsicum masala is a very colorful, flavorful and yummy dish prepared by cooking cauliflower in onion tomato based spicy masala. Adding capsicum gives crunchiness to this dish in addition to taste and flavors. I have added 4 colors of capsicum to give a visual treat to eyes and to make it more appetizing, but you can opt to use just one color or all 4 according to your preference. This simple, easy and quick masala takes very less time to prepare and also demands very basic ingredients making it easy for even beginners to cook.
