Directions
Aloo Gobi,Great aloo gobi recipe from the film Bend It Like Beckham,Excellent- I pretty much followed the spices as listed except for toasting the cumin seed in the oil before adding onion per Garimas suggestion. I also added about a tablespoon of better than bouillon. I was a little concerned about the amount of cilantro since I had a large bunch but decided to go for it since I like cilantro. used four large cloves garlic and about 1.5 inch square piece of ginger after it was peeled, and I pureed them in the tomatoes along with the chili so I wouldnt have to chop. I also dont like pieces of tomato in sauces. used a large can of San Marzano tomatoes. All the cauliflower in my store had a little of that brown stuff on it which means to me it will have a musty taste (it seems to happen a lot now that cauliflower comes wrapped in plastic) so used extra potatoes instead of cauliflower and added some kale for veg. The potatoes sucked up all the moisture from the tomatoes so I had to add more water several times in order to have a little sauce. I realize this is traditionally a dry curry but I wanted some gravy. The amount of turmeric is correct. I was worried it was too much because it tasted bitter, but I know that Indian food depends upon the progressive adding of spices for the final correct flavor. I was hoping that adding the garam masala which has a sweetness to it, at the end, would balance out the turmeric. And the cilantro leaves. Fortunately that turned out to be the case and it turned out to be the best curry I have made- equivalent to those I have had at good Indian restaurants. Full disclosure I also added some cubed firm tofu at the end for some protein. I think when I make it the next time I might also add some corn, peas and maybe even some black beans or garbanzos. I dont think it needs them but I like having a lot of veg in my curries. If I find some nice fresh cauliflower I will definitely use it.,Excellent- did some tweaks but pretty much used the spices as listed. I was concerned about the amount of turmeric especially since before I added the garam masala it tasted a little bitter. Happily the addition of the garam masala at the end made it perfect. So I think the amount of turmeric is correct.
