Aloo ghobi recipe
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil
- 0.5 tbsp cumin seeds
- 1 tsp mustard seeds
- 1 pinch asafoetida
- 2 green chillies, finely chopped
- 3 medium potatoes, cut into smallish cubes
- 1 medium cauliflower, trimmed and cut into bite-size florets
- 75 ml (2.6fl oz) water
- 1 tsp salt

- 2.5 cm fresh root ginger, peeled and blended to make a paste with 2 tbsp water
- 1 tbsp ground coriander
- 0.25 tsp turmeric powder
- 1 tsp curry powder
- 4 tbsp water
- To make the spice paste, combine all the necessary ingredients in a bowl.
- Heat the oil over a medium heat and test the heat by torturing a single cumin seed.
- If it fizzes and pops then the oil is ready.
- Add the rest of the cumin, the mustard seeds, asafoetida (if you have some) and chillies, stirring for just a few seconds.
- Now add the spice mix and stir for a minute or two until the mix separates a little from the oil.
- Your paste is now ready for the other ingredients.
- Slide in the potatoes (aloo) and cauliflower (ghobi), adding the water and salt, and mix well, covering everything with everything.
- Cover and cook over a medium heat for 1520 minutes until the vegetables have yielded their starchy stiffness and become tender and submissive.
- Check the aloo ghobi during this time and, if its sticking to the pan, add a touch more water.
- Just before serving, sqeeze the lemon juice over the aloo ghobi and mix well, making sure you dont crush the contents.
