INDIAN POTATOES AND CAULIFLOWER (ALOO GOBI)

Steps:

• Add 1/8 inch of oil to a skillet over medium-high heat. Shallow-fry potatoes and cauliflower separately until light brown, 5 to 7 minutes each. Transfer to a bowl.
• Add 1 tablespoon oil to the same skillet and reduce heat to medium. Add roasted cumin to the hot oil; saute for 1 minute. Add garlic and green chile pepper; saute for 1 minute. Add onion and ginger garlic paste; cook and stir until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Add tomato and season with salt. Cook until tomato is soft, about 5 minutes. Add chile powder, garam masala, turmeric, cumin, and coriander. Taste and if mixture is a little sour, add sugar. Cook for about 1 minute. Reduce heat to low, add water, and cook until garam masala is cooked well.
• Add reserved potatoes and cauliflower. Mix well and taste, adding lemon juice if needed. Add fenugreek and cook, covered, for about 1 minute.

ALOO GOBI

Steps:

• Mix the Ginger-Garlic Paste, coriander, turmeric, and 1/2 cup water in a small bowl. This is a simple wet masala (spice mix). Set aside.
• In a large pot, warm the oil over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking. Add the serrano pepper, wait 30 seconds, and then add the cumin seeds and wait until they're done spluttering.
• Add the wet masala (careful, it will also splutter). Cook until the paste thickens, deepens in color slightly, and oil oozes out of the perimeter of the masala, about 2 minutes.
• Add the cauliflower and potatoes, stirring to coat the vegetables with the masala. Season with salt and add 1/2 cup water. Cover and cook over medium heat 10 to 15 minutes. Then, remove the lid, stir, and cook until the cauliflower and potatoes are cooked through, about 5 minutes. Garnish with cilantro and serve.
• Throw the garlic, ginger, and canola oil in a mini-food processor and let it go until it forms a semi-smooth paste. There will still be tiny little pieces in there, but overall, it should resemble a paste.
• Save what you don't use in a small glass jar. It should last in the fridge for 2 to 3 weeks. It's a delicious addition to marinades, pasta sauces, stir fry sauces, slow-cooker recipes, gravy etc. We always had a jar of this stuff in our fridge growing up.

INDIAN CAULIFLOWER WITH POTATOES

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes in their jackets and allow them to cook completely. Day-old potatoes that have been refrigerated work very well for this dish. Peel the potatoes and cut them into 3/4 inch dice. I actually used mini red potatoes, and left their skins on.
• Break up the cauliflower into chunky florets that are about 1.5 inches across at the head and about 1.5 inches long. Soak the florets in a bowl of water for 30 minutes. Drain.
• Put the oil in a large, perferably nonstick, frying pan and set over medium heat. When hot, put in the cumin seeds. Let the seeds sizzle for 3-4 seconds. Now put in the cauliflower and stir it for 2 minutes. Let the cauliflower brown in spots. Cover, turn heat to low, and simmer for about 4-6 minutes or until the cauliflower is almost done but still has a hint of crispness left. Put in the diced potatoes, ground cumin, coriander, turmeric, cayenne, green chili, ground roasted cumin seeds, salt, and some black pepper. Stir gently to mix. Continue to cook uncovered on low heat for another 3 minutes or until the potatoes are heated through.
