Cauliflower and Potato

This North Indian recipe is another of my favorites, and is provided by my mother, Mrs. N. Kochhar, of New Delhi, India. It is also known as Aloo Gobhi. Cauliflower is a winter vegetable in N. India.

Ingredients

  • 1 (one) medium cauliflower
  • 1 (one) large potato (or two smaller ones)
  • 1 inch piece fresh ginger
  • 4 (four) tablespoons cooking oil
  • 1 (one) teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 (half) teaspoon turmeric powder
  • dried red pepper to taste

Wash and cut cauliflower and potato into medium pieces. Peel the ginger and cut into very small pieces.

In a large frying pan heat the oil over medium heat. Add all the ingredients and mix well. Lower heat to medium-low and cook the vegetables until tender, stirring every 3 to 4 minutes. May also add a small amount of water as needed.

Serve while warm. Serves four.
