Aloo gobi recipe is a simple but delicious stir fry mainly made up of potato and cauliflower florets. It is usually prepared in my home as a side to accompany with dal and chapati.
This aloo gobi can be prepared in many ways. Today I am sharing the method I feel best to prepare it.
The key point to remember is that I never add water in this recipe. It will be cooked in only oil and the water of vegetables itself.
Second thing is that I don't like to add as many spices in this aloo gobi as other Indian curries calls for. I also do not added onion in this aloo gobi. But you can always play around and add them according to your choice.
I hope you find this recipe easy to prepare. Let's see the recipe now.
