Aloo Gobhi Recipe is a very popular Indian food served in most homes and restaurants in India. It is popular in North India. This is one of the easiest choices to make as a side dish whenever there is a gathering. Best compliment when served with Dal Makhani and Garlic Naan. As the name itself suggests, this dish is a medley of Aloo and Gobhi (potato and cauliflower) and some spice powders. This can be made in two ways: with onion, tomato, and some spices or without an onion tomato masala. I love it either way. It’s your choice of how you would prefer to eat. If I’m eating with Dal, I prefer making the recipe without onion and tomato masala. Otherwise, I like it with the onion-tomato masala. Our site contains some affiliate links.

💭TOP TIP
To make perfect aloo gobi, make sure to follow these simple tips:
Cut cauliflower and potatoes in equal sized pieces. That way spices and veggies can easily be blended in the recipe. Cut cauliflower in large-size pieces & dice the potatoes. Make sure to add less water when making aloo gobi in Instant Pot. If you add more water, aloo gobi may turn out mushy & it will not be appetizing. Saute potatoes for 1-2 minutes before adding cauliflower. Potatoes take longer time to cook. You can add ginger-garlic paste. But if you don’t have it then you can also add chopped ginger & garlic to the recipe.Once the timer beeps and aloo gobi is pressure cooked, then Quick Release by venting the vent to the venting position.
