The one with the cauliflower and potatoes

Cauliflower was one of the few vegetables I would eat as a kid and still one of my absolute favorites. Broccoli gets a lot of press--deservedly so--but of the cabbages nothing soaks up flavors like cauliflower. So unsurprisingly I love aloo gobi, but from looking up recipes online I'm getting the impression that the saucy, tomatoey aloo gobi I love is not quite real aloo gobi... Nevertheless, delicious

I more or less followed this recipe.

Materials

• 1 small onion diced
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 3 peeled and cubed yukon gold potatoes
• 1 head of cauliflower broken into florets
• 14 oz. can of crushed tomatoes
• 1 serrano pepper, diced (I like to take out seeds from half the pepper)
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp tumeric
• a clove of garlic
• tsp of fresh ginger
• small bunch of chopped cilantro
• salt

Assembly
This ends up being a lot of food. If you have a large, deep sauce pan that would be perfect. I used our dutch oven (after first pouring everything from a medium pan into a large pan and then the large pan into the dutch oven). In any case, heat the oil over medium heat for a few minutes and add the onion, cumin, and a pinch of salt. When the onion is translucent, add the chopped pepper, tomatoes, tumeric, garlic, and ginger and mix thoroughly. Then add the potatoes, cauliflower, and a tsp of salt, mix it up so the veggies are coated, and simmer for 20-40 minutes (it was closer to 40 for me). While it's cooking, you can add a little bit of water if it is getting too dry. When the potatoes are done, stir in the cilantro and adjust the seasonings to taste.
