This simple and delicious dish are made from potato and cauliflower. You can make aloo gobi in different ways, but this is a way I do it at home. I got this recipe from my friend...You can also do the same recipe without onion and garlic. The spices and masala added makes curry more flavorful and tasty. It can be served with naan, phulka, paratha or jeera rice. I had with coconut paratha, it tasted so good.
