Aloo Gobi 2

Peoples, this recipe might be the one. I have long been looking for a great aloo gobi recipe, and even though I put one up a few years ago it wasn't exactly what I was looking for. I have been continuously searching for the perfect recipe when I came across this one, from Manjula's Kitchen. It is extremely simply to make, so try it tonight. Make sure to prepare the spice paste; it prevents them from burning when added to the pot. Also if you don't have mango powder (I didn't), it still turns out well.

Ingredients

• 2 cups of cut cauliflower (cut into small florets)
• 2 medium potatoes (cubed into bite sized pieces)
• 1/2 inch shredded ginger
• 3 teaspoons coriander powder
  
• 1/4 teaspoon turmeric
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  
• 3 tablespoons water
• 3 tablespoons oil
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
  
• 2 green chilies, sliced in long pieces
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 teaspoon salt
  
• 1 teaspoon mango powder
  
• 2 tablespoons of chopped cilantro
  
• 1/4 cup water as needed

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, mix the shredded ginger, coriander powder, cayenne pepper, turmeric, and 3 tablespoons of water to make a paste.
2. Heat the oil in a pan. Test the heat by adding one cumin seed to the oil; if seed crack right away oil is ready.
3. Add hing and cumin seeds to the oil after seeds crack add the bay leaves and green chilies and stir for a few seconds.
4. Next, add the spice paste and stir for a minute until spices start leaving the oil.
5. Add cauliflower, potatoes, 2 tablespoons of water and salt. Mix well. Cover the pan and let it cook on medium heat for about 15 to 20 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Make sure to stir gently every 3 to 4 minutes.
6. Lastly, add the mango powder and fresh cilantro. Mix everything and cover for a minute. Adjust the salt to your taste.
