How to make Aloo Gobi Fry – What can I say about Aloo Gobi, It is probably the most popular dish in any North Indian house hold. There are many ways of making this dish but the recipe I am sharing with you is the one of my favorite way of making Aloo Gobi.
The reason this recipe is called Aloo Gobi fry is because in this recipe we are not going to use any onions or tomatoes. Instead we are going to shallow fry the spices, potatoes and Cauliflower until cooked to perfection. This recipe ensures that the dish doesn’t turn soggy or mushed but stays crisp.
We are going to make it the way they make this dry and fried recipe in Dhaba’s.
This is a simple yet delicious recipe. Serve with a Laccha Paratha or Chapati for best Taste !!
