Illustrative stock photos, not this exact recipe. Photo credits are at the bottom of the page.

Aloo gobi is one of the most-loved everyday vegetable dishes in India: potato and cauliflower cooked dry with turmeric, cumin and ginger until tender and lightly golden.

Keep the potato pieces smaller than the cauliflower so both finish at the same time, and go easy on the water. This is a dry curry.
