Aloo Gobi recipe – Potato and cauliflower recipe – Simple side dish for rice / roti

Aloo Gobi is very famous north Indian gravy which goes well with chapatti / Chapathi / Roti / Naan / Pulao / Pulav.  I seldom do it as our family is not big fan of potatoes. This one you can do it as a gravy version or dry version. Both will work out to be tasty
