Aloo Gobi

Potato and cauliflower, roasted rather than stewed, so the edges char and nothing turns to mush. A dry curry that works as a side or, with dal, as dinner.

Ingredients

  • 1 head Cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 3 Yukon gold potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 3 tbsp Canola oil
  • 1 tsp Ground turmeric
  • 1 ½ tsp Ground cumin
  • 1 ½ tsp Ground coriander
  • 1 tsp Kosher salt
  • 1 tbsp Fresh ginger, minced
  • 1 Serrano pepper, minced (optional)
  • 1 tsp Garam masala
  • 1 Lemon
  • ½ cup Cilantro

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 450°F with a sheet pan inside. A preheated pan is what gets a browned face on the potatoes instead of a steamed one.
  2. Toss the cauliflower and potatoes with the oil, turmeric, cumin, coriander and salt.
  3. Spread them on the hot pan in a single layer with room between. Crowding steams; two pans is better than one crowded one.
  4. Roast 25 minutes, turn everything with a spatula, scatter the ginger and serrano over, and roast 10 minutes more until the cauliflower edges are dark brown.
  5. Off the pan: garam masala, lemon juice and cilantro, tossed while everything is still hot.

Notes

✨ The restaurant touch
The garam masala goes on after the oven, never before. Twenty-five minutes at 450°F destroys everything volatile in it.
🧒 For the kids
Roasted cauliflower tastes nothing like boiled cauliflower — sweet, nutty, crisp-edged. Serve it as finger food with lemon and skip the chile.
🥡 Leftovers
Keeps 4 days and crisps up again in a hot oven or air fryer.
