For a long time I've been looking for a good Aloo Gobi recipe. My husband had gotten me the Best Ever Indian Cookbook a few years ago. It really isn't a very good cookbook. The pictures are really good but pictures can be deceiving. All the recipes I've made turned out average at least until this one. This is the best Aloo Gobi I've made to date. When I saw this recipe I didn't have high hopes because of my past tries with recipes from this cookbook and this recipe didn't have any of the typical ingredients you find in all Indian recipes....onions, tomatoes, ginger, garlic....but it actually turned out pretty good. I love how there are no onions to chop and fry. It makes this a quick dish to cook. I didn't change any of the ingredients. Just some slight modifications to the method.
