Aloo Gobi

Since I Selected cauliflower as the vegetable for this week's BM, The next recipe I decided to post was a side dish for rotis / chapathis. And the first thought that struck my mind was Aloo Gobi. Whenever I visit punjabi dhabas I used to order aloo gobi with rotis. Punjabi dhabas serve very delicious aloo gobi. Here is my version below.

Ingredients:

Potatoes - 3 to 4( chopped)

Cauliflower - 1/2( chopped)

Onion - 1 ( chopped)

Green chilli - 2

Ginger&garlic paste -  2 Tsp

Mustard seeds -1/4 Tsp

Jeera - 1/2 Tsp

Chilli powder - 1 Tsp

Turmeric powder - 1 Tsp

salt - to taste

Oil - 1 tbsp

Method:

• Heat oil in a pan. Add mustard and Jeera ,when it starts spluttering add chopped onions and green chilly.
• Add ginger&garlic paste, fry for a few minutes and then add potato and cauliflower pieces. Sprinkle water, close and cook for 5 minutes.
• Once the potatoes and flowers are cooked 80-90%, Reduce the flame to medium and start frying until potatoes are soft.
• Now add turmeric powder, salt, chilly powder and fry in medium flame for 2 minutes.
• Switch of the flame when potato and cauliflower almost cooked and browned little bit.
• Enjoy Aloo Gobi with rotis or chapathis.

Aloo Gobi would also be a good side dish for some of the mixed rices like tamarind rice, lemon rice, curd rice etc..
