If you are looking for the perfect Punjabi vegetable dish which is quick and easy to prepare then look no further than this aloo gobi, it’s what I call simple food – hearty, healthy and tasty all at the same time.
- 6 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 finger green chilies, finely chopped
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoons ginger and garlic paste
- 2 tomatoes, finely diced
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste
- 2 medium potatoes, peeled, diced into 1/2 inch cubes
- 300ml water
- 500 gram cauliflower florets
- 2 tbsp fresh coriander, finely chopped and a little for garnish
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 3/4 teaspoons red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
Method:
1. Heat the oil in the pan for 1 minute. Add the cumin seeds to the oil and once they sizzle, throw in the onions and green chili, cook for 3-4 minutes until the onions are very brown and caramelize. Add ginger and garlic paste and tomatoes, cook for 30 seconds. Add turmeric, red chili powder and salt and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
3. Potatoes by now should be more than half way cooked therefore add the cauliflower florets and a little more water for it to steam cook. Steam cook with the pan covered for 6-8 minutes (add a little more water if required and mix every minute or so).
4. Uncover the sauce pan and do the stick test which means break a piece of cauliflower and potato with your cooking spoon and if it breaks apart easily your potato and cauliflower are cooked.
5. Add finishing touches of fresh coriander and garam masala. Cook for a final minute or so (add a little water if a bit sticky) and serve.
