Aloo Gobi with Potato and Cauliflower

Here we go again, making side dishes for meals. Add some spiced chicken to this and you’d have yourself a full on meal. I’m not a huge fan of cauliflower… something about the texture, but Taylor loved the flavors in this dish and gobbled it up. If you’re a fan of Indian food, you’ll appreciate this one.

We added a sweet potato to this, along with the regular potato and cauliflower. A great addition to the flavors of the dish.

The mix of spices that went into this was as beautiful as it was flavorful. We managed to find the fenugreek at an International food store… it’s sort of a coarse spice, almost like split peas that have been pounded, and bright orange in color. Not like anything I’ve ever tasted before.

  1. I have made this before (a similar recipe, not the exact one) and I just love it. Somehow, cauliflower and indian spices work really well together. I love how it leaves the air so fragrant. For days. ;-)
