Aloo Gobi Fry (Potato Cauliflower Fry)
Aloo Gobi Fry is a dry Indian preparation of potatoes and cauliflower cooked with simple spices. I enjoy watching the edges turn golden while the vegetables retain their shape and bite.
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Cauliflower (cut, cleaned and preferably par boiled)
- 2 pieces Potato (cut and cleaned)
- 3 tablespoons Mustard Oil
- 4 pieces Dry Red Chili
- ½ tsp Kalonji
- 1 tsp Turmeric Powder
- Salt to Taste
Instructions
- First, light the clay stove (you can use any stove for this cooking). Now heat the wok and add oil.
- Add the kalonji or kalo jeera and dry chilies. Stir fry it.
- Add all the potatoes. Stir fry it for 5 mins.
- Add 1 tsp turmeric and salt to taste.
- When the potatoes are almost fried, add the cauliflower.
- (Pro Tip: I add the cauliflower only after the potatoes soften slightly, so that both vegetables finish cooking without the cauliflower turning mushy.)
- Stir fry the vegetables properly and add more salt, if required.
- Stir fry it very well and your homemade aloo gobi fry is ready.

Notes
- Always pick fresh and firm cauliflower and potatoes to achieve the best results. Wash thoroughly and cut the cauliflower florets and potatoes evenly into small, similar sizes. This ensures even cooking and renders a consistent texture.
- Always use a pan or wok with a larger surface area. This will not overcrowd the vegetables and allow perfect cooking preventing them from being steamed and not fried. The eventual texture of the dish will be mushy, which is not desired.
- I stir-fry the vegetables on a medium to high heat. Regulate the flame judiciously to maintain a steady temperature so that the vegetables are fried nicely to a beautiful golden color and renders slight crispiness to them without losing their texture.
