|

||
## Instructions
|
||
|
||
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into 2cm cubes.
|
||
- Break the cauliflower into even-sized florets; cut larger florets in half if needed.
|
||
- Pour 30ml of cooking oil into the wok or frying pan and heat over medium heat.
|
||
- Once the oil is hot, add 3g of cumin seeds and fry until the seeds turn dark brown and fragrant (about 10 seconds; be careful not to burn them).
|
||
- Add the chopped onions and stir-fry until they become translucent and lightly golden (about 3–4 minutes).
|
||
- Add the grated ginger, chopped garlic, and chopped green chili; stir-fry for 1 minute.
|
||
- Add the chopped tomatoes and stir-fry until they soften and break down (about 2–3 minutes).
|
||
- Add 3g of turmeric powder, 3g of red chili powder, 5g of coriander powder, and 5g of salt.
|
||
- Stir-fry for 1 minute to allow the spices to meld with the vegetables.
|
||
- Add the potato cubes and stir-fry for 2 minutes to coat the potatoes with the spice mixture.
|
||
- Add the cauliflower florets and gently toss to combine evenly.
|
||
- Cover the pan, reduce the heat to medium-low, and **simmer for 12–15 minutes**, stirring once every 3–4 minutes to prevent sticking.
|
||
- When the potatoes are easily pierced with chopsticks and the cauliflower has slightly charred edges, sprinkle 3g of garam masala over the dish.
|
||
- Stir-fry for 1 minute.
|
||
- Turn off the heat, garnish with cilantro leaves, and serve.
|
||
|
||
## Additional Notes
|
||
|
||
- This dish is prepared in a dry style (Dry) and does not require adding water. If you find it too dry and prone to sticking to the pan, you can add a very small amount of water (approximately 15-30ml), but avoid adding too much.
|
||
- Do not cut the potato pieces too small, as they may break apart easily during stir-frying.
|
||
- It is normal for the edges of the cauliflower to become slightly browned, which actually enhances the flavor.
|
||
- Aloo Gobi gained widespread recognition in the Western world due to the 2001 British comedy film "Bend It Like Beckham".
|
||
- This dish pairs well with Indian naan, roti, or rice.
