Recipe 📖
This hearty and comforting Punjabi-style Fried Aloo Gobi masala recipe is naturally vegan and gluten-free and the consistency is dry. It truly is one of the best cauliflower bhaji recipes out there! Potatoes and cauliflower absorb all the flavors well and make a great combo. There are many variations to this Indian comfort food - Aloo Gobi because every home has its way of making it. Aloo Gobi Masala is also served in Indian restaurants. In fact, to make this Indian curry authentic restaurant-style or dhaba-style, aloo, and gobi are deep fried in oil first and then added to the masala. If you are making gobi aloo masala at home, you can make it in many different ways. You can make it dry, in gravy style, with onions and tomatoes, or without onion and garlic. My version of this tasty Punjabi cauliflower with potato curry recipe is dry and involves shallow frying these veggies to give them a crispy charred texture and smoky flavor. I have been making aloo gobhi ki sabzi this way for years now and it is part of my weekly menu rotation. This Indian-style aloo gobi recipe is the perfect vegan/vegetarian option for curry nights in our house and it’s the best! Cauliflower - You can get a cauliflower head and cut them into florets. Fresh and tender florets are easy to cook with. You can also use fresh pre-cut florets to save on chopping time. Avoid using frozen cauliflower florets as far as possible. Gobi is low in calories, high in fiber, and a great source of nutrients. Red or white onions and Roma, Plum, or vine tomatoes are the basic veggies needed in this gobi aloo masala recipe. The tomatoes will give this Indian cauliflower potato masala a tangy flavor. Use fresh tomatoes and not the puree or paste because this is a dry cauliflower sabzi recipe. Spices, aromatics, and herbs - This meatless aloo gobi curry relies heavily on spices like chilly powder or cayenne, Kasuri methi (dried fenugreek leaves), cilantro, cumin seeds, garlic, ginger, green chillies, amchur powder (dry mango powder), coriander powder, turmeric powder, garam masala (or use any curry powder), and lemon juice. These are the ingredients that make this Indian potato cauliflower sabzi or shaak flavorful and give this dish a beautiful hue. I like to cook this Indian aloo gobi stir-fry recipe in vegan ghee. You can also use olive oil or any other vegetable oil.
Alternatively, you can serve aloo gobi with quinoa or cauliflower rice. Also, stuff the curry in a wrap, make tacos with it, or as a stuffing for quesadillas. Gobhi Aloo is the perfect recipe for busy weeknights, and Meatless Mondays, pack in lunchboxes with chapati, potlucks, weekend dinners, parties, or family brunches. Enjoy your delicious homemade Aloo Gobhi with your family and friends!
