Aloo Gobi

Aloo Gobi is a popular Indian vegetarian dish made with potatoes and cauliflower cooked in a fragrant blend of spices. Turmeric gives the vegetables their golden color, while cumin, coriander, ginger and garam masala create warm, savory flavor. The dish is usually prepared relatively dry rather than with a heavy gravy, making it ideal with roti, paratha or dal and rice. For the best texture, cut the potatoes into small cubes and keep the cauliflower florets similar in size so both vegetables become tender without turning mushy.
