Peanut or canola oil, for shallow frying

1 head cauliflower (1 3/4 pounds), cut into delicate florets
1 tablespoon peeled finely chopped fresh ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
3/4 to 1 teaspoon salt

Lift the cauliflower out with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Turn the heat off. Remove all the oil from the frying pan except for 2 tablespoons (the extra oil can be drained and reused). Turn the heat to medium-high and put in the ginger. Stir for 10 seconds. Now return the potatoes and cauliflower to the pan. Turn the heat down to medium. Put in the turmeric, salt, cayenne, cumin, and coriander. Stir gently to coat the vegetables with the spices. Add 3 tablespoons of water. Stir once and cover the pan. Turn the heat down to low and cook very gently for 4 minutes. Add the cilantro and toss gently. Serve hot.

Tips for Making Aloo Gobi:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or Red Bliss, hold their shape better during cooking and are less likely to fall apart.
  • Cut the potatoes and cauliflower into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you add too many vegetables to the pan at once, they will steam instead of fry and will not brown properly.
  • Cook the vegetables in batches if necessary: If you have a large amount of vegetables to cook, cook them in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
  • Add the spices and seasonings gradually: Start with a small amount and add more to taste. This will help you avoid overpowering the dish.
  • Garnish the dish with fresh cilantro or parsley: This will add a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

Aloo gobi is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a main course or a side dish. It is a great way to use up leftover potatoes and cauliflower, and it is also a healthy and affordable meal. With its vibrant colors and flavorful spices, aloo gobi is a surefire hit that will please everyone at your table.
