Chef Solanki Roy's Aloo Gobi Recipe
About the Dish
Aloo Gobi, which translates to potato and cauliflower, is a classic Indian staple. About 5% of the population in India is vegan and 40% is vegetarian. So, India has a huge repertoire of vegan and vegetarian dishes.
Ingredients
- 400g potatoes, peeled and diced
- 400g cauliflower, cut into florets
- 150g onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1-inch piece of ginger, minced (about 15g)
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to taste)
- Salt, to taste
- 100ml water (as needed)
- Fresh cilantro, for garnish
Instructions
- Heat Oil: In a large pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.
- Sauté Onions: Add the chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown (about 5-7 minutes).
- Add Garlic and Ginger: Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add Spices: Add cumin seeds, turmeric powder, coriander powder, garam masala, red chili powder, and salt. Cook for 1-2 minutes to let the spices bloom.
- Cook Potatoes and Cauliflower: Add the diced potatoes and cauliflower florets to the pan. Stir well to coat them with the spices. Add water, cover the pan, and cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender.
- Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust salt or spices if needed. If it’s too dry, add a little more water.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
Enjoy! Serve your Aloo Gobi with rice, roti, or naan for a complete meal. Enjoy this comforting dish!
