Aloo Gobi

Aloo Gobi is a very simple and satisfying dish, with the combination of potatoes (aloo) and cauliflower (Gobi).
The same dish can differ in cooking process and the spices used, the taste varies according to that. I have had different varities of aloo gopi, each one was different in taste. 
You can fry the potato and cauliflower pieces before cooking to make it a dry dish. But here I skipped the frying part and instead pressure cooked the potatoes. So the look is very much different from the traditional Aloo Gobi. This is the way we cook at home - Aloo Gobi with a new taste. :). 






Ingredients 
Potato - 2
Cauliflower - 1 small
Onion -1 finely chopped
Tomato- 1
ginger garlic paste - 1/2 tsp
Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp
Cumin seeds - 1 tsp
Garam masala powder - 1/4 tsp (optional)

Method

Cut cauliflower into florets and put them into warm salt water and keep for a while.
Cut potatoes in size matching to the cauliflower. Cook the potatoes.
Heat oil in a pan. Add cumin seeds and onions, stir cook until the onions become translucent, add green chilies, ginger garlic and tomato and mix thoroughly. Cook till everything get mushy and soft,   Add the cauliflower and the cooked potatoes,  add turmeric powder and garam masala, mix gently cover and cook in low flame for 5-6 min,  uncover and cook in high flame for 1-2 min.
