Aloo Gobhi is a deep fried vegetable recipe prepared in winter. This seasonal vegetable can be served as a main dish with roti or paratha. Cauliflower florets and potato slices and deep fried and further simmered with spices and tomatoes , you can also make this recipe without tomatoes but adding tomatoes give a perfect binding and prevents it from turning out to a dry dish.

Notes:
Air drying vegetables in strainer drains excess water from vegetables, they will absorb less oil and will never stick to pan or kadhai.
If gobhi aloo seems dry you can sprinkle one teaspoon water in it to retain moisture.
Adding ginger helps to digest gobhi
