Aloo Gobi is a very delicious and super tempting curry made with cauliflower and potatoes are perfect to pair with hot ghee smeared roti.
What is Aloo Gobhi/Gobi?
Aloo Gobhi is potato and cauliflower dry curry that is quite popular in Punjabi Cuisine. There are many versions of this dish like home style, with onions and garlic and Dhaba style. This recipe is very simple and the way I make it at home normally.
Each house has its own recipe. Some people like to make it in the pressure cooker while others make it in a kadhai or open pan.
Cauliflower is one of the Cruciferae vegetables if eaten on a regular basis provides many health benefits. Aloo gobi is very tasty and healthy as it is rich in nutrients and flavor too.
Basic Ingredients for Aloo Gobi:
- Firstly, Aloo-Potatoes, medium, or small-sized.
- Gobi-Cauliflower florets cut in small pieces.
- Tomato and green chilli: Tomato and green chilli adds texture and flavors in the dish.
- Ginger-Adds a nice flavor and helps in digestion too.
- Spices: Basic spices like coriander, turmeric, garam masala and red chili powder is used
- Coriander leaves-A must in the recipe as it brings amazing flavors.
How to make Aloo Gobi?
First of all, wash and cut your vegetables. Now all you need to do is cook potato and cauliflower on lo medium heat with oil, cumin, asafetida, fenugreek, and ginger. Let the veggies become soft, stir occasionally.
Once veggies are soft, bring them into the side of the pan. One the empty space add the tomato, green chilli and spices along with salt. Now cover the tomatoes with the potato and cauliflower that we shifted in the corner.
Let it cook again on slow until tomatoes are soft. Finally open the lid, mix the vegetables and cook on medium flame for 2 more minutes.
Add some chopped coriander leaves, and enjoy.
