Aloo Gobi (Potatoes and Cauliflower Stir Fry)

This is my extremely simplified version of the Aloo Gobi Masala that can be made in a jiffy and if I may say so myself, also tastes great. Goes well with rice and dal or even rotis.

Ingredients:

Cauliflower – 1 medium, cut to bite size florets

Potatoes – 2 large, cut to bite size pieces
Oil – 2 Tbsp
Cumin Seeds – 1/2 tsp
Turmeric Powder – 1/2 tsp
Ginger Paste - 1 tsp
Garlic Paste - 1 tsp
Coriander Powder – 2 tsp
Cumin Powder – 1 tsp
Garam Masala – 1 tsp
Red Chili Powder – to taste
Salt – to taste
Cilantro – 5 sprigs, chopped for garnishing
 
Method:


Heat oil in a medium non-stick pan.
Add Cumin Seeds and allow them to sizzle
Add ginger and garlic paste and cook for a minute
Add the potatoes  
Add turmeric powder, red chilli powder, coriander powder and cumin powder
Mix well and fry for a while until the potatoes start becoming fried and cooked
Add the cauliflower

Add garam masala powder and salt
Do a taste test and adjust spices as per your taste
Sprinkle a little water, cover and cook for around 10 minutes until vegetables are cooked and you have nice dry masala
Garnish with chopped Cilantro Leaves and serve hot
