Aloo gobi is a traditional dish with origins in Northern India, although it is popular throughout the country, but also in Nepal and Pakistan. Its key ingredients are potatoes, cauliflower, onions, and a variety of spices, which are all slowly simmered and usually served with rice, bread, chutneys, or a cucumber salad.


Since no liquid is added to the dish (although extremely small amounts of it may be added), aloo gobi is reliant on the spices, including turmeric, garlic, ginger, cumin, coriander, and red pepper. It is recommended to garnish the dish with freshly sliced coriander and drizzle some lime juice over the top.
