Aloo Gobi | Spiced Potato and Cauliflower (Instant Pot | Stir-Fry)

Aloo Gobi or Gobhi Aloo is a popular dry vegetarian side-dish from the northern-Indian cuisine. Aloo gobi is made with Aloo (potatoes), and, Gobi (cauliflower), which is cooked with aromatics like fresh ginger and garlic, chopped onions and ripe tomatoes. It is seasoned with toasted and ground Indian spices like cumin, coriander with a hint of garam masala, and stir-fried till it cooks through and smells heavenly. A garnish of freshly chopped cilantro adds the perfect splash of color and balance to this popular side dish.

My kids love to have Aloo Gobi and Bhindi (Spiced Okra stir-fry). I make two versions of Aloo Gobi. One is a light stir-fry with cumin seeds, green chilies and Indian spices, and this version, where I make a light onion-tomato gravy and cook the potatoes and cauliflower florets in it. Both versions are simple and come together in under 10 minutes.
