Northern Indian Cooking Class – Recipe 1

Aloo Gobhi (Serves 6-7 people)

 

1 Head Cauliflower

4 Medium Potatoes

¼ Glass Plain Water

Chili (optional)

 

  1. Chop veggies into bite-size pieces

  2. Heat oil in a wok

  3. Add cumin seeds. The seeds will crack open if the oil is hot enough

  4. Add garlic and ginger when the cumin seeds have turned brown

  5. Optional: add chopped chili if you want it spicy (but the chili powder already makes it plenty spicy, so be cautious with this one

  6. Cook for one minute while stirring ingredients together

  7. Add turmeric powder and red chili powder

  8. Add coriander powder and salt

  9. Add garam masala

  10. Mix and cook for 1 minute

  11. Add water, turn the heat down and cover

  12. Cook on low for 20 minutes, or until the veggies are cooked (the potato should slice through easily)

  13. That’s it – easy and delicious!
