Aloo Gobi ki Sabzi | Potato Cauliflower Dry Curry | Side Dish for Chapati

Aloo Gobi Ki Sabzi is one of those simplest dishes you can make in a jizzy when you are in a hurry to get your dinner on the table fast! This dry Potato Cauliflower curry is a delicious side dish and making it Sukhi, meaning dry saves you time in cooking. The curry powder that I have used in this dish was a store bought one that I wanted to try. You can simply replace it with chili powder, coriander powder, cumin and garam masala.

For a simple dish, this post surely stayed for a while in draft. I have been planning to write on this since a week and never came around doing that. Imagine, on the first of this year, I thought I should carefully wade through each day, making sure I write down what I want and also make sure I complete it. Guess what, the days have simply flown! Just like so many days before, just like the days that will come. Each day as it comes, makes me want to grab and make the best as much as I can, even as I sit down thinking about it, the time simply keeps marching forward.

It's the same grind again. waking up, rushing through, deciding what to make. Then the mad rush to make sure the bus is not missed. Next is the rush to make sure I am on time to work. Then I never know how the time passes off so quickly, it's time to return. Of course, you can imagine how it would be when one lands at home and have three hungry kids waiting. Yes, it's soon bedtime and you hurriedly get them to sleep. Is this the pattern you go through too? Cos I get tired just thinking through this. Again if I am not doing and being so packed like this, what will I do?

That's a question that has no answer, with the half yearly exam completed, we are marching towards to the annual exams and soon it will be summer vacation! Konda just declared she wants to learn Carnatic music. Because her favorite singer also learned Carnatic music before being launched. We have been after her for so many years for these classes, now she comes up with this plan herself. I am glad she has mentioned her aim to become an archaeologist again. She was fascinated by Jackie Chan cartoons some years back. I am not really sure of her current passion. I am sure she will update me soon as soon as she decides.

While that goes on in my regular life, I am sure you will enjoy reading this simple sabji made with Aloo and Cauliflower.

Aloo Gobi Ki Sabzi | Dry Potato Cauliflower Curry

How to make the sabji

Wash and trim the cauliflower, soak in salted hot water with lid covered for 10 mins. Rinse in water again. And drain, keep aside.

Peel and chop the potatoes as julienne.

Heat a non stick pan with cooking oil. Saute the bay leaf and finely chopped garlic. Then add onions julienne, saute on high and let the onions sweat. Add chopped green chilies, saute well along with salt.

Next, add the potatoes and cover with lid. Then, add the turmeric powder, cook in simmer for 5 mins, then add tomatoes and combine everything well. Continue cooking with lid covered. This takes about another 5 mins for the potatoes to soften.

Once the aloo gets soft, add the drained cauliflower, mix everything well. Add the curry powder and cover again.

There is no need to add water, the moisture that comes from the covered vegetables is enough to soften the vegetables.

Finally add chopped coriander leaves.

Serve with rotis.

Notes

Instead of curry powder, you can simply add red chili powder, coriander powder, cumin powder and a dash of garam masala.

Can add water if you want a liquid gravy.
