Dhaba style Aloo-Gobhi

 Nothing beats winter blues like comfort food like aloo gobhi..  

This recipe is supposedly Dhaba style. Here aloo and gobi is shallow fried before making the curry. I was not doing this before. I loved the fried taste of aloo and gobhi. 

Ingredients

Cauliflower/ Gobi - 1 big

Potato/ aloo - 2 -3 medium

Tomato puree(from 4-5 tomatoes) - I used canned diced tomatoes. 

 Oil 

Jeera 

Turmeric

Red chili powder - 1/2 tsp

Coriander powder - 1 tbsp

Kasoori methi - 1 tsp

Dry mango powder - 1 tsp

Cilantro

Water - few tbsps

Method

Separate cauliflower florets, wash them thoroughly. Chop them in bite size pieces.  

Wash and peel potatoes. Cut them in bite size cubes. 

In a pan add around 4 tbsp oil. Add chopped potato and shallow fry till they are nicely browned. Drain the oil out and take them out in a plate. Add cleaned and cut gobi florets and sauté till nicely browned. Drain them and take them out in a plate.

Add jeera to the oil. Wait for it to sizzle. Add ginger, garlic and green chili paste. Add onion sauté till done. Add tomato puree made from 4-5 tomatoes. Sauté till they are cooked and oil separates. Add all the powders, salt to taste. Mix well. Add fried aloo and gobhi. Add little water and cover and cook in low flame for about 5-10 min till aloo and gobi are completely cooked. Open the lid. Add chopped cilantro. Mix well. Serve hot with roti or dal and rice combination.
