Although I am a hardened carnivore, I do enjoy Indian food a great deal. Most vegetarian food seems to be missing something, as if it’s trying too hard to not be meatless. Indian food, on the other hand, doesn’t try to be anything it’s not - as a result, it throws a spotlight on the vegatables instead of trying to hide them.
While the topic of Indian food is vast, the rest of the week, we’ll cover a few standbys and introduce some of the more obscure (to me at least) dishes.
Aloo Gobhi (Cauliflower Potato Curry)
Ingredients
Masala
Pinch of cinnamon (remember, a pinch is 1/8 teaspoon)
Pinch of cloves
1 tablespoon grated ginger
2 cloves garlic, minced
handful of cilantro, chopped
1 teaspoon red chilli powder
½ teaspoon turmeric
½ teaspoon salt
Aloo Gobhi
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 teaspoon yellow or brown mustard seeds
1 teaspoon cumin
1 clove garlic, minced
1 head of cauliflower, stems removed and florets separated
1 potato, peeled and chopped
1 carrot, peeled and chopped
1 onion, thinly sliced
6 tomatoes, peeled and chopped
2 cups frozen peas
Procedure
- Mix all of the masala ingredients with ½ water and puree in a blender until smooth.
- Pour 1 tablespoon of the canola oil into a cast iron skillet, with the heat set to medium. Cook the mustard seeds, cumin, and garlic in the oil for about 1 minute.
- Add the onion and cook until translucent.
- Up the heat to medium-high and add the tomatoes. Cover the skillet and cook for 10 minutes, or until the tomatoes are soft.
- Add the potatoes and carrots and cook for and additional 10 minutes.
- Pour in the masala mixture, 1/2 cup of water, and the cauliflower. Stir to combine and then reduce the heat to medium low, and cover. Simmer for about 20 minutes. Add the peas and cilantro, let cook for a minute more, and then serve.
Mmmm…. I love the pictures in this blog.
Tasty!

I think I’ve had Indian food a couple of times, and I have fond memories of what I think was the Indian food. I really like curry, so this dish looks like another one to try out.

Christian,
I like Indian food. This best I have was those from an ashram (spiritual centre) in Melbourne, Australia.

What a nice vegetarian option. With the price of meat rising having recipes like these will be helpful.

I tried Indian food for the first time in Las Vegas with my dear friend Gary May. I had no idea what anything was on the menu, so he chose for me. It was delicious (whatever it was)!!! I’ll have to try this and see if it is as good.
