Aloo Gobi

4 stars based on 3 reviews
Ready in: Under 30 minutes ?
Difficulty: 3/5
Serves/Makes: 4
INGREDIENTS:
1 cauliflower
4 potatoes
1/4 cup oil
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 piece (1 inch size) ginger root
3 cloves garlic
3/4 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon red chili powder
3 tomatoes
1 teaspoon garam masala
2 teaspoons ground coriander
DIRECTIONS:
Cut cauliflower into flowerets. Cube potatoes. Heat oil and saute cumin seeds for about a minute. Add garlic and ginger, stir and add potatoes. Bhoona*, add turmeric and chili powder, and bhoona again. Add tomatoes and simmer for about 5 minutes. Add cauliflower and high heat for about a minutes. Lower heat, cover and let simmer for about 15 minutes. Curry should be damp-dry.
* Bhoona is a technique that is essential to Indian cooking. The bhoona technique means that the mixture is cooked over medium-high heat, with constant stirring to avoid scorching, until all liquids are reduced and the spices coat the meat like a paste. About 1/2 cup of water can then be added, the dish covered, and a gravy created as the dish becomes liquified again.

Great recipe!! I also added slivered onions before the first 'bhoona'. Cut one small onion into slices and add. Salt, to taste.

Two things kept this recipe from getting a 5 rating. First, the dish needs salt! Salt liberally at the point of adding the potatoes. Second, the cooking time at the end is not long enough. I would double the time. Otherwise the dish is great.

The recipe forgot to use two ingredients, the Garam Masala and Coriander powder! I guess those two spices go in with the others?
