Aloo Gobi
I loved Aloo Gobi, Cauliflower curry, cooked by my mom during winter season.When we were growing up in India Cauliflower used to be available only during winter and it tasted delicious. In our house Aloo Gobi used to be served as one of the vegetarian delicacies. In a Bengali family a vegetarian dish is not cooked with onion and garlic. One more thing to note – in a Bengali household most of the cooking is done with mustard oil. So this recipe calls for use of mustard oil. Here is the very simple pure vegetarian recipe for Aloo Gobi without onion and garlic and with mustard oil.
