Stir Fry Aloo Gobi

Aloo Gobi (Cauliflower and Potato) is a very popular North Indian vegetable, prepared at homes and in restaurants and accompanied with Roti and Dal Tadka. There are different versions of this vegetable prepared in households across India. Some prefer it with onion, garlic and tomato while some prefer it with a Tadka (tempering) of Mustard Seeds and Curry leaves.

My husband, who is also the contributor for this post prepares this vegetable with a slight variation where he uses a tempering of cumin seeds and green chillies.
