ALOO GOBI RECIPE – Indian stir-fry potatoes and cauliflower

06/28/2018 by Filippo Trapella Leave a Comment

Aloo gobi is true Indian comfort food. This recipe is a classic of the Northern regions of the Subcontinent, particularly the Punjab, but it is also prevalent in Pakistan, Nepal and Bangladesh. The potatoes and cauliflower florets are previously fried, then combined with a flavorful mix of spices and vegetables: delicious!

ALOO GOBI TIPS

Make traditional Aloo Gobi is not difficult, but requires a wide range of spices. Some ingredients have a taste that isn’t for every palate, particularly asafoetida and fenugreek. Personally, I think they are critical to prepare an authentic Aloo Gobi, but depending on your taste,consider whether or not to use them.

Commonly the potatoes and cauliflower are previously deep-fried, but some chefs prefer to saute them before finishing with the other ingredients.

Aloo gobi is traditionally prepared either with Ghee or vegetable oil. The Ghee (Indian clarified butter) gives a characteristic taste to this recipe. If you want to try to make homemade clarified butter, here there is my recipe. Otherwise, for the vegan Aloo Gobi, just replace the butter with vegetable oil, it will be delicous as well!

FRYING POTATOES AND CAULIFLOWER

Now, rinse the potatoes one more time, then dry them entirely with a kitchen towel. Rinse and dry the cauliflower florets as well.

At this point, heat the vegetable oil into a deep pot until reach 340° F (170° C), then deep fry the potatoes and cauliflower a few pieces at a time until golden brown. Eventually, place the vegetables over paper towels.
