Aloo Gobi

 Aloo Gobi is usually seen as a dry dish.But this has got some gravy in it. This recipe is a bit different from the regular ones as we deep fry potatoes and cauliflower so that it won't get messed up and then saute in masalas. I got this recipe from my cousin Shameera Gafoor long ago and since this had been one of our favorites.

Ingredients:

For potato marination:


Potato
Red chilli powder 1/4 tsp
Coriander powder 1/4 tsp
Turmeric powder 1/4 tsp

Corn flour 1 tsp
Salt

For Cauliflower :

Cauliflower
Corn Flour 1 tsp
Salt
Red chilli powder 1/4 tsp

 For Gravy:

Onion 1
Ginger garlic paste 1 tsp
Green chilli 2
Red chilli powder 1/4 tsp
Coriander powder1/4 tsp
Cumin seeds 1 tsp
Cumin powder (optional)
Coriander leaves
Thick Coconut milk 1/2 to 1 cup

Method:

1. Marinate potato alongwith the spices mentioned above and deep fry till it is cooked well inside and browned outside.

2. Marinate cauliflower with red chilli powder and cornflour and deep fry these too in high flame.

3. For the gravy, heat a pan, add ghee and then cumin seeds. Wait till it splutters.

4. Then saute in onions till it turns translucent. Add ginger-garlic paste, saute fr a minute  more.

5. Now add the remaining spices and saute in the vegetables.

6. Once the veggies are coated well in the masalas, add coconut milk to it. Coconut milk is an option though. You may or may not add this. This is added just to get some gravy.

7. Sprinkle some cumin powder if u need and garnish with coriander leaves.

8. Serve hot with Puris , rotis or paranthas....
