Ingredients:
- 1 cauliflower
- 2 boiling potatoes
- 1 tsp fenugreek seeds
- 1/2 tsp fennel seed
- 1 tsp whole cumin seed
- 1 tsp ground turmeric
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1-2 red peppers
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp ground pepper
- 1 tsp garam masala
Recipe Instructions:
- Heat the oil in a large 12 to 14 inch skillet over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot and shimmering, add the fenugreek seeds, fennel seeds, whole cumin seeds, and red peppers to the skillet. Stir them once and let them sizzle in the oil for about 30 seconds, releasing their aromatic flavors.
- Carefully add the cauliflower florets and diced potatoes to the skillet, stirring gently to coat them evenly with the spices and oil.
- Reduce the heat to medium and sprinkle in the ground turmeric, ground coriander, salt, and ground pepper. Continue to sauté the vegetables for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to develop a golden hue and become fragrant.
- Pour in 1/4 cup of water and immediately cover the skillet with a lid. Reduce the heat to low and allow the vegetables to steam gently for 7-10 minutes, or until they are tender but still slightly firm.
- Once the vegetables are cooked to your desired tenderness, remove the lid and sprinkle the garam masala evenly over the Aloo Gobi. Give it a gentle stir to incorporate the spices.
- Transfer the Aloo Gobi to a serving dish and garnish with fresh cilantro leaves, if desired.
- Serve hot alongside fluffy basmati rice or warm naan bread for a complete and satisfying meal.
Tips:
- To add a hint of sweetness to the dish, you can include a handful of golden raisins or diced tomatoes while sautéing the vegetables.
- For extra richness, you can stir in a splash of coconut milk or cashew cream just before serving.
- Customize the spice level to your preference by adjusting the amount of red pepper flakes or adding a pinch of cayenne pepper for an extra kick.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for longer preservation. Simply reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave before serving.
