Cumin Overload - Tasty Treat

Here is my recipe for aloo-gobi sabji (potato-cauliflower side dish) which relies on cumin for the flavouring more than the standard chili spice.

Start with :


Cut them real fine (especially the cauliflower)..


Use the bottom pan of a pressure cooker :

• put two spoons of oil at medium heat


• put channa dal and urad dal and get them to a light brown color


• add mustard seeds (1/2 spoon) and cumin seeds (2 spoons)


• add some asafoedita when the mustard starts splattering


• add the onions and saute them till they turn light brown


• then add the cauliflower and potato's (i cheat by microwaving the potato for 2 minutes before throwing it in the mix


• add 1/2 a spoon of salt and 1/4 spoon of the standard curry powder (or sambar powder) and stir for a few minutes.


• add 1/2 cup water mix and put the lid on the pressure cooker and wait till you hear one whistle.


• release the pressure, open the pan and continue to stir for another two minutes and you have..

Great to eat with rice or rotis!
