A very simple dish which is made differently in several parts of India. ย This one is typical Punjabi style Gobhi Aloo which is dry and is served with chapati (roti) or paratha. ย It is just cauliflower and potato stir fried in an aromatic blend of Indian spices.
Ingredients:
- Cauliflower Florets
- 1 Onion chopped
- 2 Potatoes Cubed
- 3 tbsp olive oil/canola oil
- Ginger finely chopped
- Green Chilli chopped
- Asafoetida
- Mustard Seeds
- Cumin Seeds
- Salt to taste
- Red chilli powder
- Garam Masala (All spice)
- Turmeric Powder
Directions:
In a kadhai, heat the oil. ย Add mustard and cumin seeds along with asafetida. Let it splutter then add chopped onions until they turn pink. ย Then add the cubed potatoes and cover it for a few mins so the potatoes are half cooked.
After this add the cauliflower florets and all the spices which is salt, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala. ย Finally add the ginger and green chilli and mix well. ย Cover the kadhai and let it cook.
It is good not to stir the gobi a lot as it starts breaking. In between give it a stir and then cover it again. ย Check to see if the potatoes are done, then let it cook uncovered for another few mins. ย Add chopped cilantro and mix.
Garnish with a little more cilantro. Serve hot with chapaati.
