This mildly spiced vegetable dish is made with potatoes (aloo) and cauliflower (gobi). It’s perfect as an accompaniment to a meat or chicken curry, or simply serve as a tasty vegetarian supper with warm chappatis and plenty of cooling cucumber raita. Choose a firm cauliflower with creamy white flesh and no blemishes and use waxy fleshed potatoes that don’t break up during cooking. We used Charlotte potatoes, but you could also use desiree or estima. You can adjust this curry to be more or less spicy, depending on your taste, by increasing or reducing the amount of chilli.

Method
- Heat the oil in a large pan. Add the cumin seed and fry for 30 seconds. Add the turmeric, ground coriander, ginger and chillies. Fry for one minutes.
- Stir in the potatoes and cauliflower florets, add the stock, cover and cook on a low heat for 10 minutes, until the vegetable are tender.
- Remove the pan lid and cook over a high to medium heat for 5 minutes to remove any excess moisture. Stir in the butter until incorporated fully and garnish with spring onions.
Top Tip for making Aloo gobi
You can use 450g frozen cauliflower florets in place of the fresh cauliflower, if liked. There is no need to blanch them just add to the frying pan with the potatoes.
