I’m about 99.9%* sure Cauliflower and Potato were put on this earth just to be made into this delicious Aloo Gobi
*may be a fake statistic
Aloo Gobi literally translates to potato cauliflower which might sound boring but when you mix both of them with a few spices they act like a sponge and soak up all the flavour and something magical and delicious is created.
Aloo Gobi is a classic Indian dish and may even be the most popular Indian vegetarian recipes. It’s perfect as a side dish along side Creamy Cashew and Coconut Lentil Curry and Garlic Naan or make a big batch and eat it as a main meal with some rice.
A common problem with cooking Aloo Gobi is that the cauliflower becomes really soggy and the potatoes don’t cook through. To prevent that you can pre cook both.
Most of the time the vegetables are either par boiled or fried in oil. I’ve decided to roast them to get the same nice crunch as frying but it’s easier and healthier. Pro tip – cut your vegetables into the same size to ensure even cooking.

Unlike most curries you’re probably use to Aloo Gobi is a dry curry. The veggies provide some moisture and the sauce sticks to them. Even though it’s a dry curry it still packs some serious bold flavours! Warning though it is fairly spicy so if you can’t handle the heat stay out of the kitchen.
Wait no I meant to say add less chilli flakes.
Like most Indian dishes the recipe is Vegan, so to all my vegans and everyone else enjoy!

Potato and cauliflower really do go perfectly together, and this dish is so good with the delicous spices. I find it’s good warm or cold, so ideal for putting leftovers in a lunchbox for the next day.
