Aloo Gobi
Saturday, October 10, 2009Have I told you before, that Shankar is not a foodie at all. I think, Food probably features last in his list of priorities. Its not that he doesn't love good food, But he barely requests for anything specific & I really don't think he has a favorite ( How sad is that .. Sigh ... )
When we guys were newly married, I always fancied cooking his favorite dishes. All that went kaput .. Never mind
Hey, but there is one dish that he actually said he likes, yes Aloo Gobi it is. Thank God, he likes something, at least. Nope, I didn't make it for his birthday yesterday. I made this version of Vegetable Biryani for him .. But it is Aloo Gobi that he really relishes.
I love Aloo Gobi too .. Anything that has potatoes & cauliflower has to taste good isn't it ?

NOTE:
- Immerse potato cubes in cold water to prevent them from turning brown
- you could add a handful of green peas too
