About this Recipe
This recipe is very similar to what is known as “aloo gobi” or potatoes & cauliflower, a common “sabji” vegetable dish in northern India. I left out the potatoes to reduce the carbohydrates, but you can easily adjust the recipe and add diced, peel potatoes.
Ingredients – Six basic spices & herbs
- Cumin seeds
- Ginger fresh grated
- Turmeric powder
- Chili red powder
- Garam masala
- Cilantro fresh leaves
Fresh cilantro, or coriander leaves are a common herb in Indian dishes, so keep it on hand. If you can buy it in a bunch with roots on it – great! Place the fresh cilantro bunch in a jar with water, cover with a plastic bag and store in the refrigerator for up to a week.
