Mom'S Aloo Gobhi
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1 teaspoon whole mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon whole cumin seeds
- 4 to 5 fresh curry leaves
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 small cauliflower, chopped and separated into florets
- 2 medium potatoes, diced
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1/2 teaspoon (or as per taste) red chilli powder
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon garam masala powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons fresh coriander leaves, chopped
- Heat the oil in a slightly heavy-bottomed pan. (In India, we use something called a kadhai, shaped similar to a wok.) Add the mustard, cumin seeds, and curry leaves. (Careful as they will sputter.) Saute for half a minute.
- Add the chopped onions and saute over medium heat till they are translucent.
- Add the cauliflower, potatoes, turmeric, chilli, and coriander powder and mix well. Cover and cook over low heat so that the vegetables cook in their own steam. Stir from time to time.
- After about ten minutes, add garam masala powder, salt, and pepper and mix well. Cover and cook till the vegetables are completely tender, another 10 to 15 mins. (Check as this sometimes varies depending on the type of potatoes.)
- Serve hot garnished with the coriander leaves.
