Aalu Gobi


Ajoy loves gobi so we always have it at home. This time I thought of trying something different that the usual preparations and end up preparing this dish

Aalu Gobi
Ingredients
2 Potatoes
1 Gobi
1/2 Spoon Mustard
1 Spoon Jeera
1 Spoon Jeera Powder
1 Spoon Corriander Powder
1 Spoon Red Chilli Powder
1/2 Spoon Garam Masala
1/4 Spoon Turmeric Powder
1/4 Spoon Powdered Sugar
Corriander Leaves for garnishing
Salt to taste
Oil

Method
  • Peel the potatoes and cut them in cubic shapes
  • Separate out the florets of medium size from the gobi
  • Heat oil in a pan and let the mustard and Jeera splutter in the oil.
  • Add potato pieces and gobi florets in the oil and cook on medium flame with constant stirring.
  • After 5 minutes add turmeric powder and keep cooking
  • When the potato and gobi is almost done, add corriander powder, jeera powder, red chilli powder, garam masala, powdered sugar and salt. Mix well and cook till completely done
  • Garnish with finely chopped corriander leaves

Notes
This simple dish gives different flavour than the tomato gravy kind of gobi preparation. The vegetable is quite dry and goes well with phulkas or parathas.

Crisp Indianised Hash Brown


I had prepared this couple of weeks back but got the chance to post now.. The item was amazingly crispy and tasty :) Yet a quick prepartions :)

Crisp Indianised Hash Brown
Ingredients
2 Potatoes
1 Green Chilli
1/4 Cup Cucumber Pickles
A pinch of Black Pepper Powder
Salt to taste
Ghee

Method
  • Grate the potatoes and wash them with lots of water to remove all starch.
  • Drain all the water from the grated potatoes and let them dry on a paper towel
  • Mix the grated potatoes with finely chopped green chillies, picled cucumbers, black pepper powder and salt.
  • Heat the tawa and spread ghee to coat it.
  • Spread the potato mixture on the tawa to form a thin layer
  • Cook on medium flame on both sides till the colour turns to brown

Notes
I used the medium sized grater for this so that the pototo pieces arent too thin/thick. Thicker version will not give as much crisp as this one did.
The green chillies gave it nice firy - spicy touch
