This recipe is quite a hit among everyone. If you have ever searched for Dry Aloo Gobi recipe, you would know there are hundred ways of making it and no one way is right or wrong. You can make it simple with minimal spices or make it very rich with whole spices

In this particular recipe, I am using the version where minimal spices are used. You can even add the spices that you love to it and just follow the method and not worry about the ingredient list. I love the sheer ease of making this as it doesn’t require any elaborate preperations. And when we just cook it on low flame and allow it to cook by itself, the taste just turns out amazing.

You can even lightly steam the potatoes and cauliflower before hand for making it quicker. I steam the potatoes and cauliflower on the rice cooker when I am making the rice. That makes the process of cooking even more faster. But the fact is when we cook on low flame and allow it to cook with the spices, the taste is absolutely different.

• Add the cumin seeds and garlic garlic and whole dry red chili.
• Throw in the potatoes, cumin powder, red chili powder and turmeric powder. Cook on low heat till the potatoes are almost done with the lid covered. You can sprinkle some water if necessary, otherwise the steam that forms on the lid is enough to cook the potatoes without burning. Don’t add too much water but make sure there is just enough to cook the potatoes.
• When the potatoes are almost cooked (you will be able to insert a fork into the potatoes with some difficulty), add in the cauliflower florets.
• Again, cover the pot and cook until the cauliflowers become soft and a fork can be inserted into them easily too.
• It’s very important to add the cauliflower when the potatoes are almost cooked or they’ll be overcooked and mashed.
• Add salt and sprinkle garam masala and fresh coriander to finish.
• Serve with dal and rice or with some naan or roti.
