Gobi Aloo (Cauliflower & Potato)




Gobi Aloo is one of my favorite foods to eat and make. To eat, because it tastes so good and to make because it's nice and easy! Have a looky for yourselves:

Serves 3-4

What we need:

2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp butter
1 whole cauliflower
4 potatoes
2 tsp cumin seeds (jeera)
1 tsp mustard seeds
1 tbsp of grated fresh ginger
2 cloves of grated fresh garlic

2 tsp
aesofetida powder
2 tsp salt
1 tsp garam masala
1 tsp coriander powder
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 can diced tomatoes
1/2 cup of water
Handful of fresh coriander

How we do:
  • Wash the cauliflower and cut into medium size pieces.
  • Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut in half and then slice length ways.
  • In a large non stick pan, heat the oil and butter.
  • Add the cumin and mustard seeds.
  • When they begin to sizzle, add the garlic and ginger.
  • When they have turned a slight golden color, add the potatoes and cauliflower.
  • Add all of the spices, tomatoes and water. Mix well.
  • Cover on medium heat for 8-10 minutes, stirring every 2-3 minutes.
  • When the potatoes and cauliflower are soft, sprinkle fresh coriander and serve with naan or chapatis (keep posted for upcoming chapati recipe) .
  • BALLE BALLE! Gobi Aloo is done!
