Here is another dish with cauliflower, Doi Fulkopi. This dish is a bit spicy and definitely gives a variety to your regular Bengali lunch or dinner menu. Cauliflower is a vegetable, that you can cook in different variations, and Cauliflower with curd is a kind of combination, which tastes great. I have another version of this recipe Curd Cauliflower Curry in my blog.

Since a long time I’ve been searching for the recipe of Doi Fulcopi, but the dish I had with a similar name was white in colour, probably they did not add tomato & kashmiri mirch, I’ll definitely give this a try,I know it will come out splendid, shall let you know after I taste it,
thanks
Thank you… and do let me know how it comes out… :)
Hi Arpita,
I tried your recipe. It was great. But I did few modifications. I added 3/4 kajus while making the onion tomato puree and mixed curd in the masala before adding cauliflower and fried a little. The taste was good. Thanks.
