2nd Attempt - Aloo Gobi


So, today I tried making Aloo Gobi again since I have some time to spare this weekend and I still have some potatoes in the fridge. So, after work, I drove myself to 1 Utama, sent my car for a bath and went groceries shopping, more like Aloo Gobi shopping. Bought a huge China Cauliflower from Jusco for only RM3 and more potatoes. And I took a stroll along the spice rack. I noticed they had Garam Masala but actually my dear friend Ashwini had told me earlier that I could get it from Tesco or any Indian shops. But maybe its because of my luck, I found it FINALLY! And of course I bought it. Here's a picture of what turned up. Its pretty dry don't you think? I think I should have a little more gravy in it but hey, thumbs up! I'm almost there! Just need to adjust a little with the water quantity. But seriously, I took a bite and I was in heaven. This dish is awesome! Maybe I should call it Fried Cauliflower & Potatoes in lots of Indian spices. Hehehe...I shall not write down the recipe as its pretty much similar to the one yesterday except for I added Cumin Seeds (Jintan Putih) and replaced Masala Mix with Garam Masala. I'm planning to try again tomorrow so I guess its a week filled with cauliflower and potatoes for my diet.

Recipe 6 : Vegetable Curry

First & Foremost, before I lay down the recipe, this was supposed to be Aloo Gobi, a traditional Indian dish with cauliflower and potatoes with a thick curry gravy. But I think mine didn't turn up well as it was too watery, so it kind off ended up being Vegetable Curry. Its my first time attempting a dish with so many different spices, but it turned out well. It was tasty though...but practise makes perfect and I'm still trying to perfect this dish. My goal is to master this dish before someone returns...Enjoy!!

1 Tablespoon of Olive Oil
1 Teaspoon of Garlic
1 Teaspoon of Ginger Paste
1 Teaspoon of Salt
1 Teaspoon of Garam Masala/Masala Mix
1 Teaspoon of Cumin Seeds/Ground Cumin
1 Teaspoon of Chilli Powder
1 Teaspoon of Tumeric Powder
Water

Steps :
1) Cut the potatoes into cubes
2) Separate the cauliflower florets into a bowl
3) Heat up the wok with olive oil, garlic and ginger paste.
4) When the garlic is slightly brown, add in the potatoes.
5) Add in the cumin, chilli powder, salt, masala mix and tumeric powder.
6) When the potatoes are slightly cooked, add in the cauliflower florets.
7) Add some water.
8) Cook until the potatoes and cauliflower florets are tender.
9) Serve with bread, rice etc...
10) Eat it!!
