Aloo gobi is a dry vegetarian dish served as an accompaniment with rotis ,phulkas or rice.This is a classic in Punjabi cuisine and quite common in that region.This is a wonderful dish as it involves the usage of typical Indian spices which make it aromatic,flavourful and tempting.I like this dish as it is spicy and mildly tangy too.In the konkan cuisine too we make dry dish with combining potato and cauliflower which is simple and tasty whereas this one totally rocks!!!

Boiled potato cubes 1.5cups
