Indian Potatoes With Cauliflower Aloo Gobi Recipes

ALOO GOBI RECIPE (INDIAN-SPICED CAULIFLOWER & POTATOES)

Steps:

• Heat ghee in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shallot, garlic, ginger and serrano chili and saute until fragrant and golden, about 3-4 minutes. Add curry leaves, cumin seeds and mustard seeds and saute 1-2 minutes.
• Lower heat and add remaining spices - turmeric, paprika, asafoetida, coriander- along with tomato with its juices. Cook the tomatoes down on low heat for about 4-5 minutes until they begin to break down.
• Add salt and water, give a good stir scraping up any browned bits.
• Add potatoes and cauliflower, toss to coat. Cover, bring to a gentle simmer over med-low heat and cook, covered until fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Uncover and reduce, until all the remaining liquid is gone, stirring occasionally. You want this fairly dry ( the ghee will keep it moist).
• Spoon into a serving dish, scraping all the goodness out of the bottom of the pan over top.
• Garnish with cilantro sprigs. Serve with naan, basmati rice or roti!
