Roasted Potatoes and Cauliflower- Aloo Gobi

Looking for new quick and easy vegetarian dishes.


Recipe from https://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/roasted-aloo-gobi-potatoes-and-cauliflower

Serving: 4

Ingredients:

  • 2 medium russet potatoes, cut into 2"-long sticks

  • 1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into small florets

  • 5 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided

  • 1 tsp. cumin seeds

  • ½ tsp. ground turmeric

  • 1 small onion, finely chopped

  • 1 Tbsp. thinly sliced ginger

  • Pinch of asafetida (optional, but really great)

  • Pinch of red chili powder

  • 1 tsp. (or more) kosher salt

  • 1 Tbsp. (or more) fresh lime juice

  • ½ cup chopped cilantro leaves with tender stems

Method:

  • Preheat oven to 400F/ 205C. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Toss potatoes and cauliflower with 3 Tbsp. oil on prepared sheet. Spread in an even layer and roast, tossing once halfway through, until cauliflower and potatoes are browned and slightly crisped, about 30 minutes. Let cool.

  • Meanwhile, heat remaining 2 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it begins to shimmer. Add cumin and cook, stirring frequently, until they turn a medium shade of brown, about 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium and swirl in turmeric. Add onion and cook, stirring frequently, until translucent, 4–6 minutes. Add ginger, asafetida (if using), and chili powder and cook, stirring, until heated through and well combined, about 1 minute longer.

  • Stir in roasted potatoes and cauliflower, including any charred bits from the foil, and gently mix (don’t overmix, or the cauliflower will fall apart). Add salt and cook, tossing occasionally, until potatoes and cauliflower are tender (but not soggy!), 5–6 minutes. Remove from heat and add lime juice. Taste and add more lime juice or salt, if needed.

  • Transfer potatoes and cauliflower to a platter. Top with cilantro.


This was super easy and quite filling, it tasted pretty good however i think i would have liked a bit more flavor. i also drizzled the top with a little yogurt to have more texture and flavor. next time i will add a few more spices, this was a good base but i will definitely change it a bit next time to make it a bit more tastier.
