ALOO GOBI

ALOO GOBI

Cauliflower is one of our favourite vegetables. It is widely used in different cuisines across India. Elsewhere in this blog, you will find recipes for Masala Cauliflower , Gobhi Parantha, and Gobhi ka Kheema.

Today's recipe is for a simple yet so tasty dish made with potatoes (Aloo in Hindi) and cauliflower ( Gobi in Hindi). This has been adapted from Aloo Gobi by the renowned Chef Harpal Singh Sokhi.

The addition of curds is optional, but I chose to add curds as it enhances the taste of the dish.

I made Aloo Gobi recently and it tasted great. We enjoyed it with hot rotis.




Ingredients:-
  • Aloo (Potatoes), medium-sized, 3-4
