Indian Potatoes With Cauliflower Aloo Gobi Recipes

Steps:

• Add 1/8 inch of oil to a skillet over medium-high heat. Shallow-fry potatoes and cauliflower separately until light brown, 5 to 7 minutes each. Transfer to a bowl.
• Add 1 tablespoon oil to the same skillet and reduce heat to medium. Add roasted cumin to the hot oil; saute for 1 minute. Add garlic and green chile pepper; saute for 1 minute. Add onion and ginger garlic paste; cook and stir until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Add tomato and season with salt. Cook until tomato is soft, about 5 minutes. Add chile powder, garam masala, turmeric, cumin, and coriander. Taste and if mixture is a little sour, add sugar. Cook for about 1 minute. Reduce heat to low, add water, and cook until garam masala is cooked well.
• Add reserved potatoes and cauliflower. Mix well and taste, adding lemon juice if needed. Add fenugreek and cook, covered, for about 1 minute.

Steps:

• Mix the Ginger-Garlic Paste, coriander, turmeric, and 1/2 cup water in a small bowl. This is a simple wet masala (spice mix). Set aside.
• In a large pot, warm the oil over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking. Add the serrano pepper, wait 30 seconds, and then add the cumin seeds and wait until they're done spluttering.
• Add the wet masala (careful, it will also splutter). Cook until the paste thickens, deepens in color slightly, and oil oozes out of the perimeter of the masala, about 2 minutes.
• Add the cauliflower and potatoes, stirring to coat the vegetables with the masala. Season with salt and add 1/2 cup water. Cover and cook over medium heat 10 to 15 minutes. Then, remove the lid, stir, and cook until the cauliflower and potatoes are cooked through, about 5 minutes. Garnish with cilantro and serve.
• Throw the garlic, ginger, and canola oil in a mini-food processor and let it go until it forms a semi-smooth paste. There will still be tiny little pieces in there, but overall, it should resemble a paste.
• Save what you don't use in a small glass jar. It should last in the fridge for 2 to 3 weeks. It's a delicious addition to marinades, pasta sauces, stir fry sauces, slow-cooker recipes, gravy etc. We always had a jar of this stuff in our fridge growing up.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Stir in the cumin seeds, garlic, and ginger paste. Cook about 1 minute until garlic is lightly browned. Add the potatoes. Season with turmeric, paprika, cumin, garam masala, and salt. Cover and continue cooking 5 to 7 minutes stirring occasionally.
• Mix the cauliflower and cilantro into the saucepan. Reduce heat to low and cover. Stirring occasionally, continue cooking 10 minutes, or until potatoes and cauliflower are tender.

Steps:

• Steam cauliflower until tender; set aside.
• Peel potatoes; chop into 1/2" cubes.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet; add 1 teaspoon cumin seed, 3/4 tsp turmeric, 1/2 tsp cayenne, and 2 tsp ground coriander; heat briefly until mixture becomes fragrant.
• Add onions to pan and cook until onions are tender.
• Add potatoes and 1/2 tsp salt to pan, mixing spices onto potatoes; then add 1 cup water.
• Cook over medium heat for 30-40 minutes, or until potatoes are tender, adding more water if necessary.
• When cauliflower is steamed, heat 1 tbsp of oil in another skillet; add 1 1/2 tsp ground coriander, 1/2 tsp cumin seed, and 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper.
• Heat spices until they sizzle, then stir in 1/4 cup of tomato sauce and 1/8 tsp salt.
• Cook until mixture becomes pasty, then stir in cauliflower, coating vegetables with sauce.
• Continue cooking both cauliflower and potato mixtures until they have a fairly dry consistency.
• Stir cauliflower into potatoes; mix in chopped cilantro; sprinkle top with garam masala and serve.
