CAULIFLOWER CURRY WITH POTATOES/PEAS aka Aloo Gobi

May 25, 2019 by Shazia 4 Comments

Hi friends! Aloo gobi is a very classic South Asian dish with cauliflower and potatoes. I always add peas to mine, the peas add just a little bit of sweetness and beautiful green color. I love dishes like these because they are one pot meals. This dish is easy, full of flavor and will become your family favorite too.

This is a dish that I have made so many times throughout the years. Everyone is usually expecting this delicious dish at family dinners.  Aloo in Urdu means potato and gobi means cauliflower. I have really been trying to get all the classic/basic Pakistani dishes out to you guys. I am sure you guys will be surprised how easy this is to make.

RECIPE NOTES

You can definitely leave out the potatoes and peas. But the potatoes and cauliflower go really well together.

This type of dish does not have a gravy consistency sauce, the little sauce that is made with the use of onions and tomatoes is very thick. The water is only added to cook the cauliflower/potatoes.

It is your choice to leave the florets a little big. I think it takes longer for the cauliflower to cook if the florets are large.

Enjoy this dish with:

Chapati (flatbread)

Paratha (flatbread)

Cumin rice
