Aloo Gobi Recipe with Chutney and Raita
Aloo Gobi is a Indian dish featuring potatoes and cauliflower
It is the perfect vegetarian main course: With this beautiful lineup of flavors, I guarantee you will never miss the meat!
You will love the way I have accessorized aloo gobi:
With minted cucumber raita and apricot chutney: How can you go wrong? I am including here a large chutney recipe, since it is as easy to whip up as a small batch: Plenty for you and a few Mishloach Manot gifts!)
This aloo gobi is incredibly simple and nutritious, and leaves its restaurant counterparts in the dust. Humble ingredients, glorious dinner!
The trademarks of Aloo Gobi are potatoes and cauliflower, but there’s no reason why you can’t play with other vegetables: celery root, turnips, parsnips, carrots if this is what you prefer. All selections will make you a great dish, just as long as you leave the seasonings in place (coconut milk, coconut milk, spices).

The recipe for Aloo Gobi sounds wonderful. If I use cumin powder rather than cumin seeds, do I use one tablespoon of the powder?
Thanks.

How many will this serve?
A good eight servings!
