Recipe

Aloo Gobi

Aloo Gobi combines tender potato cubes with cauliflower in a golden turmeric-spiced sauce, finished with toasted cumin seeds and fresh green chilli.

What you’ll doYou will prep the vegetables and aromatics, then temper cumin seeds in hot oil and build a masala base with onions, garlic, ginger and spices. The tomatoes cook down to a jammy sauce before you add the cauliflower and potatoes, which steam covered for twenty minutes until tender. A final bloom of garam masala finishes the dish.
