I have been neglecting this blog for too long. So decided to get the cooking started with one of the easiest recipes.

Aloo Gobi

Ingredients:

  • Boiled Potatoes - 3
  • Cauliflower - Half of a medium sized cauliflower
  • Tomatoes - 2

Method:

1. Heat a kadai and add oil. When oil is hot add mustard seeds and wait till they sputter. Then add the jeera.
2. Then add onion and saute till they turn golden brown. Add ginger, chillies and garlic to this.
3. Once the onion has turned golden brown add the tomatoes and mash nicely.
4. After the tomatoes are mashed and oil separates add water to it. If you want the gravy to be very watery add more water. Otherwise add limited amount of water.
5. When the water starts to boil add the potatoes and cauliflower.
