Aloo means potato and gobi means cauliflower in the Hindi language. These two ingredients work great combined with a tomato sauce flavored with cumin seeds and natural spices. This potato cauliflower curry or aloo gobi can be made in 30 minutes or less for a quick dinner or lunch.
To make a perfect aloo gobi you need to follow a few simple steps because potatoes and cauliflower‘s cooking time differs.
Here’s how to make the best potato cauliflower curry at home.
You can make this recipe in three ways without overcooking the cauliflower or ending with undercooked potatoes. Cauliflower should be soft and not soggy!
Option 1: You can fry separately the potatoes and cauliflower until soft, then combine them in the tomato sauce.
Option 2: Cut the potatoes into 2cm cubes and add them to a pot with a pinch of salt and ½ tsp of turmeric. Boil them until they are fork-tender. Make the sauce, add the cauliflower florets and boil until is almost done. Add the potato and continue cooking for a few minutes.
Option 3: Cut the cauliflower into bigger pieces than the potatoes and boil together until nice and soft.
I personally like to fry them, and then combine it together in the spicy tomato sauce. This way I get a creamy texture every time! And very important, add the salt at last, because it may spoil the texture.
