A particular recipe has been making the rounds through the internet lately, and it\u2019s all because of Madhur Jaffrey. Everyone is trying to get a copy of her book so they can create a wonderful Aloo Gobi just like she does. hehehe<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But there is a secret you should know, Aloo Gobi has been around for centuries and there are many recipes which can teach you how to create this wonderful Indian and Pakistani cuisine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today I\u2019m going to teach you my version of this cultural recipe. I will be sticking to the authentic taste you would find if you went to India and tried the well-loved dish in the country that considers it their favorite. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
First off, let’s make sure that everyone is pronouncing this dish correctly. Aloo Gobi is pronounced \u2018Ah-loo Go-be\u2019, pretty simple if your native language is English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aloo Gobi is a vegetarian dish made with potatoes, cauliflower and spices commonly found in India. The name \u2018Aloo Gobi\u2019 comes from these two main ingredients. A direct translation of \u2018Aloo Gobi\u2019 to English is literally \u2018Potato Cauliflower\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the main spices to create this iconic dish is turmeric, and it is also the ingredient that makes the stand-out yellowish color. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As long as you have these three ingredients, you will be making an authentic Aloo Gobi dish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can have Aloo Gobi as a side dish, but you would normally expect it to be served as a main with breads, dal and yogurt as the dish\u2019s sides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are many ways to make Aloo Gobi, but today I want to teach you how to create a tasty and identifiable Aloo Gobi recipe that tastes so authentic that a Pakistani or Indian person would recognise it and instantly think they are home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019ve separated the ingredients into two types, the \u2018deep frying\u2019 group and the \u2018after deep frying\u2019 group. This is just to make the ingredients easier to follow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The ingredients are also listed in the same order you will be using them, which means that the cauliflower is listed twice. There are \u2018Cauliflower florets\u2019 for the \u2018Deep Frying\u2019 part and \u2018Cauliflower stalks and leaves\u2019 for the \u2018After Deep Frying\u2019 part. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Cauliflower normally comes with the stalks and leaves protecting the cauliflower florets and often gets thrown out, so don\u2019t chuck away those tasty additions to this delicious dish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have cooked too much Aloo Gobi, you can leave it in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days. You can also freeze the dish without any safety worries as there is no meat or dairy in the meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you plan on batch cooking, I would recommend undercooking the potatoes and cauliflower, so they don\u2019t become mushy when you reheat them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Again, as there are no meat or dairy products in the Aloo Gobi dish, you don\u2019t need to defrost your leftovers when you\u2019re ready to eat them. You can reheat them straight from frozen.<\/p>\n\n\n\nServing Size<\/td> Serves 6<\/td><\/tr> Deep Frying Time<\/td> 15 Minutes<\/td><\/tr> Total Cooking Time<\/td> 45 Minutes<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n Ingredients:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
