Indian-Style Cauliflower and Potatoes -This is one of the simplest, traditional vegetarian Indian dishes. Aloo Gobi (Potato and Cauliflower) are seasoned with masala spices to create a delicious one-pan, side dish. It’s like Bombay potatoes but with the addition of cauliflower, and it’s made Poriyal-style. Poriyal is a Tamil word that means fried or sautéed. These are cooked with minimal oil, so it’s more of a dry fry method.
