Why make it in the Air Fryer
It’s been some time that I have stopped making this cauliflower curry on the stovetop. I prefer to bake it in the oven and now in the Air Fryer. It’s just more convenient. Plus I make it using less oil and that makes it healthier. Air Frying also gives the cauliflower a crispy texture. Gobi is the Hindi name for Cauliflower and Methi means Fenugreek. In this Indian stir-fry, cauliflower is grilled first and then mildly tempered with Indian spices and fenugreek leaves. Methi with its mildly bitter flavor helps balance this spicy savory curry. Gobi Methi is a popular weekday meal that’s made with simple everyday ingredients. I sometimes also added potatoes to this dry spiced curry for extra flavor and call it my healthier version of Aloo Gobi Tuk where the veggies are deep fried.
It’s the greatest low-carb vegetable ever. It has a similar texture to potatoes, minus the carbs. A good source of fiber. Slows down digestion and promotes a feeling of fullness. This vitamin C rich vegetable is also neutral in flavor which means that you can cook and season it any way you like.
Ingredients needed 🧾
The other main ingredient in this recipe is fenugreek leaves. You can use fresh ones or dried ones, depending on what is available to you at the moment. It tastes great with either. It’s known for giving a distinct aroma and flavor to any dish.

Top recipe tips 💭
Use fresh or frozen cauliflower florets for this recipe. You can also roast the veggies in the oven or fry them if you are in the mood to indulge. Adding spinach is optional. I like adding some greens in my curries (it’s beneficial to include leafy vegetables in our day-to-day diet), but you can skip it if you want. If using fresh methi leaves, add them instead of spinach. If using dried fenugreek leaves, always add them towards the end and crush them between your palms before adding. That helps release the aroma and flavor of Kasuri methi. This is a dry sabzi, but you can add water or stock to make it a gravy.
