#finale
#aromasofthekitchen
This special dish for the finale I made from chef Siddharth's inspirational recipe. I have a lot of different ideas but finally decided to make a rich and delicious dish that have the flavour of famous Awadhi or Nawabi cuisine.
I combine famous govi musallam with laccha paratha to make a delightful tart. Generally govi musallam is made of whole cauliflower, but I like them to cook in florets. And I also add a secret ingredient to the musallam gravy to make it creamier and sweeter. For the top crust, I use mashed potatoes combined with homemade chena and cream. And of course, finished with lots of shredded cheese. I also made a special sauce made of roasted red pumpkin/butternut squash and cream. A luscious dish that can be served as a main dish or even a snack.
