Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare Cauliflower
Chop the cauliflower florets into small pieces. Place them in slightly warm water for 2-3 minutes, then drain and set aside.
Step 2: Sauté Garlic
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan. Add 1 teaspoon of chopped garlic and sauté for about 15 seconds until fragrant.
Step 3: Add Cumin Seeds
Add 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds to the pan and let them splutter for about 10 seconds.
Step 4: Add Onion
Add 1 chopped onion to the pan.
Step 5: Stir Fry Onion
Stir fry the onion until it turns transparent, which should take approximately 3-4 minutes.
Step 6: Add Asafoetida
Once the onion turns soft, add a pinch of asafoetida and mix well for about 30 seconds.
Step 7: Add Curry Leaves and Green Chilies
Add a few fresh curry leaves and 2-3 slit green chilies to the pan and stir fry for 1 minute.
Step 8: Cook Tomatoes
Add 1 chopped tomato to the pan. Mix well, cover, and simmer until the tomato turns soft, which will take about 3-5 minutes.
Step 9: Mix Tomato Mixture
Uncover the pan and mix the tomato mixture well, breaking down any large pieces of tomato.
Step 10: Add Potatoes
Add the chopped potatoes to the pan and mix thoroughly with the masala, ensuring they are well coated.
Step 11: Add Cauliflower and Spices
Add the cauliflower florets to the pan. Then add salt to taste, 1 teaspoon chili powder, ½ teaspoon coriander powder, ½ teaspoon cumin powder, a pinch of turmeric powder, and ¼ teaspoon garam masala powder.
Step 12: Combine Ingredients
Give everything a good mix, ensuring the spices evenly coat all the vegetables.
Step 13: Cook Aloo Gobi
Cover the pan and cook on low to medium heat, stirring occasionally every 5-7 minutes, until the potatoes and cauliflower are tender. This process will take approximately 15-20 minutes.
Step 14: Check Doneness and Mix
Once cooked, check if the vegetables are tender by piercing a potato or cauliflower floret with a fork. Give it a final good mix.
Step 15: Garnish
Garnish the Aloo Gobi with freshly chopped coriander leaves.
