Langarwali Aloo-Gobhi

What is the best dish you prepared using gobhi??!!! For me, it’s this – “Langarwali Aloo Gobhi”. As I said in ‘Langarwali Dal’ post before, I still haven’t been to Gurudwara ever :( Yet I feel lucky to have a foodie-friend who follows the religion!!! Got in touch with this lovely lady a few months back only, and got to know that we live in the same city! Althought we haven’t met yet, we share a beautiful bond of friendship via social media! I really can’t wait to see her…

I received a message from her saying she cooked this curry and her little daughter (who’s a fuzzy eater) approved it happily, I thought of trying it out within a day or 2! Somehow I made it 2 days later, but it came out just toooooo good :) Mark my works, this is a keeper recipe for sure…

1 Cauliflower, cut into medium florets
2 Onions, finely chopped

1 tsp Cumin Seeds
1/4 tsp Turmeric Powder
1/2 tsp Red Chilly Powder
1/2 tsp Garam Masala

SJ’s NOTE:

• Adjust the heat factor according to your taste.
• I wanted to get roasted flavor in gobhi and potatoes, so I kept this subzi a bit dry.
