Ingredients

Step-By-Step instructions For Making Aalu Gobhi

  1. Heat the Oil and Add Cumin

    In a pan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil. Add 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds and let them sizzle.

  2. Sauté the Onion

    Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until it turns golden brown.

  3. Add Tomatoes

    Add chopped tomatoes and add 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric powder, 1 teaspoon of coriander powder, and salt to taste. Cook until the oil starts to separate from the tomato mixture.

  4. Add Aromatics

    Stir in 2-3 cloves of minced garlic, 1-inch piece of grated ginger, and 2 chopped green chilies. Sauté for a couple of minutes until they release their flavors.

  5. Combine Cauliflower and Potatoes

    Add the 2 cups of cauliflower florets and 2 cups of potato cubes to the pan. Mix them well with the flavorful base.

  6. Simmer

    Cover the pan and let the vegetables cook on low heat until they become tender. This should take about 15-20 minutes, but you can check by piercing the potatoes with a fork. They should be soft.

  7. Garnish and Serve

    If desired, garnish with fresh coriander leaves. Your Aalu Gobhi is now ready to be enjoyed!
