  1. Gobi is Cabbage, right ? Cauliflower is not gobi, me think.
    I think cauliflower is called simply flower in Indic languages

    1. Hi VJ,
      Gobi is a generic term. Cabbage is ‘Patta Gobi’ and Cauliflower is ‘Phool Gobi’ =)
      India is a vast country, vegetables are called by different names in different places. Since Foodatarian is a global site, we use Indian (Hindi) names as well as their translation in english, to avoid confusion. I hope this helps.

      Regards,
      Minal
