    Aloo Gobi Masala or Potato Cauliflower Curry is one of the easiest vegetarian recipes. It is an immensely popular north Indian recipe. You can get it at all Punjabi roadside dhabas and restaurants.

    You will generally find it as a sukhi sabzi dish in the veg thali along with dal, raita, salad and roti. I think it is a great way to use cauliflower. I love cauliflower recipes Be it Gobi Manchurian or Cauliflower pomegranate salad. Learn to make this easy recipe traditional or air fryer in steps below.

    Why does everyone love it?

    This mix vegetable recipe is best made in a cast iron pan(if making without tomatoes or use an enameled one for sour gravy). You will find it as a favorite of many North Indians eating out. However, the best reference comes from cult movie Bend it like Beckham. I always remember the scene  while making it. Mom wants  Jess to learn making the curry, instead of playing football. It resonates with you as you grow older. Whether you love football or not, you can always learn making it.

    Serve aloo gobi with any roti tandoori or phulka. You may also pair it with dal makhani or dal tadka and you have a party menu ready. Just have it with some raita/ yogurt dip, salad if you want to have lunch quickly. You get the best quality of cauliflower in winter. This hot curry and flatbread just adds some warmth to the cold air. Ditch the ghee and make it vegan if you want to. You will never go wrong with this recipe.
