Ingredients:

  • 1 medium-sized cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 2 medium-sized potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tomatoes, finely chopped
  • 2-3 green chilies, finely chopped (adjust according to your spice preference)

  • 1 teaspoon coriander powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
  • Salt to taste
  • Fresh coriander leaves for garnish
  • 2 tablespoons cooking oil

Instructions:

  1. Prepare Vegetables:
    • Cut the cauliflower into florets and soak them in warm, salted water for about 10 minutes. This helps to remove any insects.
    • Peel and cube the potatoes.
  2. Parboil Cauliflower and Potatoes:
    • Boil the cauliflower florets and cubed potatoes in a pot of water with a pinch of salt for about 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  3. Cooking Aloo Gobi:
    • Heat oil in a pan or kadai over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and mustard seeds. Once they splutter, add chopped onions and green chilies. Saute until onions turn golden brown.
    • Add ginger-garlic paste and sauté for a minute until the raw smell disappears.
    • Add chopped tomatoes, turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt. Cook until the tomatoes are soft and the oil begins to separate.
    • Add the parboiled cauliflower florets and potatoes. Mix well to coat the vegetables with the masala.
    • Cover the pan and simmer on low heat, stirring occasionally. Cook until the cauliflower and potatoes are tender.
    • Sprinkle garam masala and mix gently. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  4. Garnish and Serve:
    • Garnish with fresh coriander leaves.
    • Serve Aloo Gobi hot with roti, naan, or rice.
