A dry-style North Indian potato and cauliflower curry, warmly spiced with cumin, coriander, turmeric, and Kashmiri chilli. The vegetables hold their shape but turn tender throughout, coated in a thick, fragrant tomato-based masala. It sits comfortably as a vegetarian main with flatbreads or rice, or alongside other dishes as part of a larger spread.

Aloo Gobi

What you’ll doYou will build a fragrant masala base by blooming cumin seeds in hot oil, browning the onion to a deep gold, then cooking down garlic, ginger, and tomatoes until the oil visibly separates from the paste before adding the ground spices. The potatoes go in first with a splash of water and a head start of 8–10 minutes, then the cauliflower joins and both vegetables simmer together until tender. A final few minutes over higher heat drives off excess moisture, and garam masala is stirred through right at the end before scattering fresh coriander and serving immediately.
