After dumpstering a ton of cauliflower, potatoes, and tomatoes, I decided to make some Aloo Gobi.
I used:
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil (seems like a lot, but this recipe makes a ton of food)
- 1 large onion, diced
- 1 tsp hot sauce (like Sriracha)
- 1 head of cauliflower
- 2-3 potatoes, peeled and diced
- 3-4 tomatoes (or 2 cans), diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp cumin
- 2 tsp turmeric
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tsp garam masala (I made my own)
- salt
First heat the oil and saute the onions and cumin.
Saute onions until translucent.
Add the turmeric and 1 tsp salt.
Add hot sauce and tomatoes.
Add garlic, potatoes, and cauliflower. Stir well, cover, and allow to simmer for 20 minutes or until potatoes are cooked.
I didn’t have garam masala so I made a janky version using 1/4 tsp of each of the following:
- curry powder
- cumin
- black pepper
- cinnamon
Add the garam masala and stir well. You can eat immediately or let it sit for a while to really soak up the spices.
If you have it, serve with some fresh chopped cilantro on top.
