Aloo Gobi/Cauliflower and Potato Curry

For the final day of blogging marathon #18 under the theme dry vegetable sautes,I made aloo gobi.
Whenever feel bored with the regular potato curry,I make this curry for both roti and rice along with some green peas as my boy is fond of green peas.Here is the recipe for the flavorful curry............

Ingredients

Ingredient	Quantity
Cauliflower	1no.(medium size)
Potato	2nos.(medium size)
Green peas(optional)	1/4cup
Onion(finely chopped)	2nos.
Tomato(finely chopped)	1no.(medium size)
Ginger&garlic paste	1tbs
Chilly powder/milgai podi	11/2tsp
Coriander powder	2tsp
Garam masala powder	1/2tsp
Turmeric powder/manjal podi	1/4tsp
Kasoori methi	1tsp
Cumin seeds/jeergam	1/2tsp
Coriander leaves(finely chopped)	to garnish
Salt	to taste
Oil	11/2tbs

Method 

                               Cut the cauliflower into bite size florets and cook it in the boiled water for a minute along with a pinch of salt and turmeric powder.Drain the water and keep aside.Cube the potatoes to chunks and put in the water to prevent the color change.

Heat a pan with oil and crackle the cumin seeds and saute the onion till transparent with a pinch of salt.Then add the ginger&garlic paste and fry it for a minute till the raw smell disappears.

Now add the green peas,cubed potatoes and tomato and mix it well till the seasonings coated well.Add the chilly powder,coriander powder,salt and give it a mix till everything blends well.

Sprinkle 1-2tbs of water and cook it covered in a medium flame for 2-3 minutes.Now add the cauliflower florets and mix it gently and cook it covered for 10 minutes in a medium flame or till it gets cooked.Stir in between atleast couple of times to prevent burning.

Add the kasoori methi,garam masala powder and chopped coriander leaves and mix it well.Keep it uncovered in a medium flame for a minute or two.

Aloo gobi is ready.Serve it with roti or rice.

Enjoy.....................................

• Do not cook the cauliflower in the boiling water for more than a minute or two otherwise it will turn out mushy.
• Adding the green peas is optional and instead of kasoori methi,a fistful fresh methi leaves can also be added along with the potatoes.
