Gobhi Da Phool: The Cauliflower Diaries

Our 2Gs, the Gourmands & Geeks - Sadaf and Archit are feeling romantic and talking about a utilitarian flower - the cauliflower. They discuss:

• The global history of cauliflower
• How did cauliflower come to India?
• What is the scientific composition of cauliflower?
• Why do mathematicians love cauliflower?
• The diverse ways to prepare and consume cauliflower (think manchurian, mussalam and rice)

So sit back and relax, fry some gobhi pakoda or smash a plate of gobhi paratha with some butter while our 2Gs flower you with knowledge.Important links to geek out more:
