Aloo Gobi

Ingredients

• 2 medium potatoes, cut into small cubes
• 1 small cauliflower, cut into florets
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
• 2 tomatoes, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon coriander powder
• 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to taste)
• Salt to taste
• Fresh cilantro leaves, chopped for garnish

Instructions

1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and sauté for a minute until they start to splutter.
2. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent and lightly golden.
3. Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and cook for another minute until the raw smell disappears.
4. Add the finely chopped tomatoes and cook until they turn soft and mushy.
5. Add the turmeric powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well and let the spices cook for a minute to release their flavors.
6. Add the potato cubes and mix them well with the spice mixture. Cover the pan and let it cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
7. Add the cauliflower florets to the pan and give it a good mix. Cover the pan again and let it cook for another 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes and cauliflower are cooked through but still firm.
8. Once the vegetables are cooked, remove the lid and cook for a few more minutes to allow any excess moisture to evaporate.
9. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro leaves.
10. Serve hot with roti or rice.
