Directions
AlooGobi is a very popular vegetable curry in India, in which potatoes (aloo) and cauliflower (gobi) are cooked with onions, tomatoes and spices. Like all curries, there are countless versions that depend on the geographical area or even on the unwritten family tradition. I prefer the version without tomato but the spices cannot be missing. In the recipe I indicated the minimum amount of spices to use but they can be varied according to your palate. I suggest blanching the cauliflower florets and potato cubes in boiling salted water for a few minutes: they must still remain crunchy.
