Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 4 potatoes, cubed
  • 1/4 cup ghee
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1-inch stick ginger, finely chopped
  • 3/4 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1 tsp red chili powder
  • 3 medium-sized tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 tsp garam masala
  • 2 tsp coriander powder
  • Salt, to taste
  • Fresh coriander leaves, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vegetables:
    • Cut the cauliflower into florets and cube the potatoes.
  2. Sauté the Spices:
    • Heat ghee in a large pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and sauté for about a minute until they start to splutter.
    • Add finely chopped ginger and stir for another minute.
  3. Cook the Potatoes:
    • Add the cubed potatoes to the pan. Lower the heat and add turmeric powder and red chili powder. Stir well to coat the potatoes with the spices.
  4. Add Tomatoes:
    • Add the chopped tomatoes to the pan. Simmer for about 5 minutes until the tomatoes soften and blend with the spices.
  5. Cook the Cauliflower:
    • Add the cauliflower florets to the pan and increase the heat for a few minutes, stirring constantly.
    • Lower the heat, cover the pan, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the curry is damp-dry.
  6. Season and Serve:
    • Add garam masala, coriander powder, and salt to taste. Mix well.
    • Garnish with fresh coriander leaves before serving.
    • Offer to Krishna and serve hot with rice or bread.

Notes

  • Spice Level: Adjust the amount of red chili powder to suit your taste preferences.
  • Texture Tip: Ensure the curry is damp-dry for the best texture. You can cook uncovered for a few minutes at the end if there is excess liquid.
  • Serving Suggestion: Aloo Gobi pairs wonderfully with a simple cucumber raita for a refreshing contrast.
