Phulkopi or Cauliflower gets me excited during the winters because of its versatility and the ease of cooking. This Aloo Phulkopir Tarkari known as Phulkopir Chechki is perhaps the easiest as it can go. It is light, cooks absolutely in the jiffy and pairs so well with Luchis or Paranthas.

I mean, I cannot emphasize enough how easy this cauliflower recipe is. It is on my menu for weekday dinners, almost every week. So, imagine my surprise when I noticed that it has been missing from my Blog. Here’s my offering of (perhaps) one of the easiest cauliflower recipe in Bengali style.

Aloo Phulkopir tarkari with Parantha

Are you a fan of Aloo Chorchori? A classic Bengali-style Potato curry (more like a stew) often served with Luchis for an elaborate weekend breakfast. Elaborate? Well, we are a family of bread & cornflakes eaters so luchi and tarkari is always an elaborate meal.

Coming back to my question. I asked because if you like Aloo Chorchori then I believe, there are high chances that you will love this Aloo Phulkopir Tarkari as well.

How to make Aloo Phulkopir Chechki – Ingredients list

  • Cauliflower
  • Potatoes
  • Nigella seeds or Kalonji or Kalo Jeere
  • Hing or Asafoetida
  • Mustard Oil
  • Green Chilies

I have grown up eating this chechki, mostly on saturday nights when my mom would serve it with fluffy luchis for a niramish (Bengali vegetarian) dinner. Me, being a struggling calorie conscious Bengali, turn to more humbling porotas. But trust me, it is equally delicious.
