Ingredients For Preparing Aloo Gobi
- 1 Large cauliflower
- 3 Medium sized potatoes
- 1/2 large Onion sliced thinly in long slices
- 1 tsp Mustard seeds

- 1 tsp Coriander
- 1 tsp Cumin seeds
- 1/2 tsp Turmeric
- 1 Bayleaf
- 3 Cloves
- 3 tblsp Vegetable Oil
Method For Preparing Aloo Gobi
- Start boiling the potatoes in a saucepan. Let them boil for at least 15
minutes. After they are done, turn off the heat and let them stand in
the water.
- Cut the cauliflower into small bite sized pieces (roughly 1″ cubes),
throwing away most of the stem pieces. Wash and drain in a collander.
While the potatoes are cooking, heat the oil in a wide skillet until it
is very hot. Add the mustard seeds and wait until they start popping.
Add bay leaves, cardamom and cloves.
- Mix around for a while and then add onions. Wait until the onion starts
to turn before adding the rest of the spices (except for turmeric).
- Put the cauliflower in the skillet and fry in the oil and spices for 2
minutes. While the cauliflower is frying, cut up the potatoes into bite
sized pieces and add to the skillet. Add turmeric and stir.
- Continue stirring the vegetables under medium heat for another couple of
minutes. Add 1/2 cup of water and reduce heat to low. Cover skillet
and let cook for 5 minutes.
- Check tenderness of vegetables. If they are still too hard, add another
1/4 cup of water and cover again for 5 minutes.
- Salt to taste and serve.
