Aloo Gobi (in Hindi: Potatoes Cauliflower) is one of the simplest Indian dishes to cook at home. If I remember correctly, we ate it almost once or twice a week growing up. Though aloo gobi originated in the northern region of Punjab in India, it’s a popular dish across the country. <br /> <br />There are many different ways to cook this dish, some include flavoring the oil with curry leaves, while others might include the addition of fresh tomatoes to provide a more sauce-like base. On those nights when you want to cook something easy yet hearty and flavorful, this might just be the recipe you want to turn to. <br /> <br />I’m sharing one of my favorite ways to prepare aloo gobi, which also happens to be the way I loved eating it as a kid. For me, it’s all about adding the peas. Technically, this would now be called aloo gobi mater, mater being the Hindi word for peas. The peas not only add a spot of color to the dish, but they also bring a fresh sweetness to the vegetables. <br /> <br />Traditionally, this dish is served with plain basmati rice or some type of Indian flatbread such as roti or paratha along with a little bit of plain unsweetened yogurt on the side.
