Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Spiced Aloo Gobi (Potato and Cauliflower).
Step 1
To start your culinary adventure, grab a large pot and warm up 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Once the oil is shimmering, toss in some cumin seeds and let them sizzle for just a few seconds until they turn a lovely golden brown and start to pop—this is where the magic begins! Now, lower the heat to medium and add in your sliced onion.
Step 3
Stir occasionally as you cook the onion until it becomes lightly browned, filling your kitchen with a delightful aroma.
Step 4
Next, introduce minced serrano peppers and ginger paste to the mix, frying everything together for about a minute until the fragrance envelops you.
Step 5
It’s time to amp up the flavor! Sprinkle in ground coriander, paprika, turmeric, cayenne pepper, and garam masala, cooking for another 30 seconds to let those spices release their wonderful aromas.
Step 6
Now, add your potato pieces along with a pinch of salt, stirring to combine everything beautifully.
Step 7
Cover the pot and let it cook for 5 to 7 minutes, allowing the potatoes to soften and soak up all those flavors.
Step 8
Once the potatoes are starting to give, it’s time to add the cauliflower florets.
Step 9
Cover the pot again and let the cauliflower steam in its own juices for about 20 minutes, until it’s tender and ready to shine.
Step 10
When your vegetables are perfectly cooked, stir in some fresh lemon juice for a zesty kick.
Step 11
Pour the remaining tablespoon of oil around the edges of the pot and turn the heat back up to medium-high.
Step 12
Fry everything gently for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring carefully to avoid mashing the cauliflower, until everything is beautifully browned and inviting.
Step 13
Enjoy the vibrant colors and aromas as you prepare to serve this delicious dish!.
