Achari Gobhi is nothing but cauliflower cooked in a spicy tangy pickle/achar masala. It's slightly different from everyday cauliflower curries, and gives your tastebuds a wonderful zing.
Don't go on the name; it's a really simple dish that could be a popular party dish, and at the same time be a tasty and humble meal.
It's a dish that can be prepared in a jiffy if you have achar masala at home. I have my own recipe for Achar masala, but you can always buy one.
