How to Make Alu Gobhi Potatoes And Cauliflower

  1. Wash and peel 1 lb potatoes. Cut into 1/2-inch thick pieces.
  2. Microwave potatoes, covered, for 6-8 minutes, or until slightly softened.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a wide skillet over high heat.
  4. Add 1 teaspoon mustard seeds and cover. Reduce heat to medium as soon as seeds start popping.
  5. Add 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds and cook until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
  6. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 1 minute.
  7. Add the par-cooked potatoes, 1 medium head of cauliflower cut into florets, 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder, 1/4 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to taste), and salt to taste.
  8. Stir well to combine and cook, covered, for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until potatoes and cauliflower are tender.
  9. Stir in 1/2 cup chopped green peas (optional), 1/2 cup chopped carrots (optional), and 1/2 cup water if needed.
  10. Reduce heat to low to prevent burning.
  11. For the traditional version, stir in 1 tablespoon mango powder and 1/2 cup chopped red onion. For a lemon twist, stir in 2 tablespoons lemon juice and 1/2 cup chopped red onion.
  12. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot.
