Aloo Gobi (आलू गोभी)
Dry-style potatoes and cauliflower stir-fried with turmeric, cumin, and coriander — a humble everyday classic.
Why It Works
Cooking dry (without liquid) lets the potatoes and cauliflower develop a lightly crisp surface; blooming cumin seeds in hot oil releases their essential oils for maximum fragrance.
