(Not Really) Aloo Gobi

Le sigh.

I got this recipe from someone who makes an awesome Aloo Gobi. Unfortunately I don't think she was willing to give up that recipe (a non-translated Indian version) and gave me another one she found which...well...didn't quite turn out as expected.

Don't get me wrong. It's certainly edible but it just tastes like potatoes and cauliflower coated in a thick, spicy, pasta sauce. Either way, I am posting the recipe here. Maybe as a warning? :P

Ingredients:
25 oz. tomatoes, diced or pureed (I went for pureed)
1 big cauliflower, cut into chunks
5 potatoes, peeled, cut into cubes
1 lemon
4-5 tablespoons ghee (I went with olive oil)
1 teaspoon cumin
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon turmeric
2 tablespoon ground coriander
2 tablespoon ground chilli
2 tablespoon garam masala

Directions:
Heat the ghee/oil in frying pan
Add cumin and wait until it starts to brown
Add the rest of the spices (except for the garam masala) and the tomatoes.
When the mixture turns oily, add the vegetables
Roast the cauliflower and the potatoes until they turn soft, stirring occasionally
Add the garam masala and lemon juice

Serves 4.

I make a lot of Indian dishes and yet I've never made Aloo Gobi!

I was very surprised at how this turned out! Upon reading it, I thought to myself "Hmm...this looks like it would be really thick" but alas, threw my judgment out of the window.

I will prevail and find a decent Aloo Gobi recipe! Maybe this weekend will be experiment #2. :)
