 Dry Aloo Gobi Recipe – I have had many different varieties of aloo gobi. This aloo gobi recipe is the way we make it at home. I have made different variations of aloo gobi too, like aloo gobi curry…. but this recipe is a regular.

This simple Punjabi recipe of Aloo Gobi should have been one of my earlier posts. I wonder why it took so long for me to post a recipe that is a regular at home and also the husband’s favorite. I think, things we make everyday or see everyday, often get overlooked. As they say… the grass is greener on the other side. The everyday dal sabzi gets a miss while the bagels and burgers gets a lot of attention.

This aloo gobi recipe is courtesy my mom-in-law. Its her specialty punjabi dish. Initially, when I used to cook this recipe, I just couldn’t get the gobi to get cooked. As a result, I would add some water and steam and thus the dish would become soggy and mushy.

After many trials and errors, I have mastered the art of cooking this aloo gobi dish. It just requires patience and slow cooking. Plus the gobi/caulifower and aloo/potatoes have to be sauted for quite some time before they are steamed.

For this sabzi, you do not need any other veggie besides aloo and gobi…. :-) Also, you need to have 3 spice powders: turmeric powder, red chili powder and garam masala powder plus salt & oil. These spice powders are a regular at any Indian home. So, these are the only ingredients that you need to make for this aloo gobi recipe.

The aloo gobi sabzi derives it main flavor and aroma from ginger and garam masala. Its gingery…….. so if you like ginger then you may like this aloo gobi sabzi. This is dry sabzi and goes very well with rotis. It can also be had as a side vegetable dish with the main course.
