    Aloo Gobi (Potato Cauliflower Side)

    Jul 22, 2015 · 3 Comments

    My 193rd recipe, "Aloo Gobi", a super flavorful Dhaba style side. While I love North Indian foods, honestly, I have not been to an authentic dhaba. I believe I have been there once in my childhood, but that too I am not really sure and don't even remember tasting any of my favorites. Most of the times I end up trying my favorite stuffed paratha, paneer dishes right from my local restaurant. This Aloo Gobi is also one such recipe which I had tasted in an Indian buffet here. I am a huge fan of cauliflower and no one would hate potatoes for sure. It quickly jumped onto my favorites list.When I tasted this dish for the first time, though it looked like a very simple dish, it was huge on aroma and flavor. It was slightly tangy, spicy, salty and had all the right notes you would expect from any mouth watering dish. I have been eyeing to recreate this recipe for a long time at home. Today was the right opportunity for me to try it out. It was the perfect side for lunch for my rice and dal. I guess, it would go very well as a side for chapati or other North Indian flat breads too. A simple and tasty side you can make in no time 🙂

    • Add about ¼ cup water, mix well to get combined. Now add the fried potatoes and cauliflower florets, mix well until the masala is spread evenly. Now turn the flame to low-medium and cook covered for 4 mins. This will help the masala get infused into the potato and cauliflower. Turn off the flame. Add the coriander leaves and mix well.

    Notes | FAQ

    - Adjust the spiciness (Green chilli, Red chilli powder) according to your desire.
    - If you prefer to make the dish a little healthier, instead of frying the potato and cauliflower, you can also steam or parboil it. However, you would loose out on the texture and taste of the dish.
    - After frying, the potato and cauliflower will be partially cooked. While adding to the masala, stir it gently or else you will mash out the potato and cauliflower.
