I was never into cooking till I got married and came to USA where you ought to cook your own to survive! :) But I am glad I developed this interest in trying out new dishes , thanks for all the cravings I had thinking about the delicious food that my aunty(mom's sister) cooked back home. So here I am, after 3 years of experimenting in the kitchen, writing my own blog to share with all of you to make your lives simple with easy , quick and delicious delights! Hope you enjoy the recipes!

Aloo Gobi!!!
I am sure everyone loves potatoes. This weekend I happened to buy two huge bags of potatoes. I have tried aloo gobi a lot of times but never got the restaurant taste. But this time I tired the recipe from internet and I must say the sauce really tasted like a restaurant one. So I decided to put it in my blog and share the recipe with you all.
You will need:
3 mediun sized potatoes
1 fresh cauliflower
2 medium tomatoes finely chopped
1 medium red onion finely chopped
1 tbsp ginger garlic paste
1/4 cup finely chopped green chillies
1/4 tsp turmeric powder
1/4 tsp red chilli powder
1 tsp coriander powder
1 tsp cumin powder
1 tsp garam masala powder
salt to taste
Method:
Dice the potatoes into small cubes with the skin intact and place them in a bowl immersed in water. Cut the cauliflower into small pieces and keep it aside.
Heat a pot with 3 tbsp olive oil.Once the oil gets hot, add the chopped green chillies and ginger garlic paste and saute it. To this add the finely choped onions and salt and saute it till the oinions turn golden brown. Then add the finely chopped tomoatoes,turmeric and red chilli powder and cook till the tomatoes get tender. To this add coriander powder, cumin powder and garam masala powder and mix well. Now add the diced potatoes and cauliflower pieces and mix well. Coat them properly with the masala. Add 1 cup water and close the lid and cook for 15 minutes till the veggies become tender. ( keep checking to avoid overcooking) Garnish with finely chopped cilantro.
Aloo Gobi is ready to be relished . It goes best with chapati or roti!!!
