Cauliflower and Potatoes- Aloo Gobi****

By Gigirox

Ingredients

• Ingredients:
• 2 T Ginger-Garlic Paste
• 1 T ground coriander
• 1/4 teaspoon turmeric
• 1 cup water, divided
• 2 T oil
• 1 large serrano pepper, split down the middle leaving halves attached
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 small head cauliflower, cut into small florets
• 2-3 russet potato, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
• Kosher salt

Preparation

Step 1

Directions:

Mix the Ginger-Garlic Paste, coriander, turmeric, and 1/2 cup water in a small bowl. This is a simple wet masala (spice mix). Set aside.


In a large pot, warm the oil over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking. Add the serrano pepper, wait 30 seconds, and then add the cumin and wait until it's done spluttering.


Add the wet masala (careful, it will also splutter). Cook until the paste thickens, deepens in color slightly, and oil oozes out of the perimeter of the masala, about 2 minutes.


Add the cauliflower and potatoes, stirring to coat the vegetables with the masala. Season with salt and add 1/2 cup water. Cover and cook over medium heat 10 to 15 minutes. Then, remove the lid, stir, and cook until the cauliflower and potatoes are cooked through, about 5 minutes.
