Chef makes a curry

At Back-2-Front we have been catering for a number of Indian Weddings in Bristol, Bath, North Somerset and Cotswolds.

With waiting staff, catering staff and cooks supplied to each of the weddings I have decided that I would get authentic and cook another curry dish.

This week I made an Aloo Gobi (Potato and Cauliflower).

Ingredients

3 tablespoons oil
1/2 teaspoon black mustard seeds
1/2 onion, finely chopped
200 g potatoes cut into cubes
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 1/2 teaspoons garam masala
4 ripe tomatoes, chopped
1 large cauliflower (about 1.25 kg), cut into florets
2 cm piece of ginger
1 teaspoon sugar

• Heat the oil in a karhai or a deep,heavy-based frying pan over low heat. Add the mustard seeds, cover the pan and wait for the seeds to pop.
• Add the onion and potato and fry until lightly browned.
• Add the turmeric, cumin, coriander and garam masala to the pan and fry for couple of seconds.
• Add the tomato and stir until the spices are well mixed.
• Add the cauliflower florets and stir until well mixed.
• Stir in the ginger, sugar and 125 ml water, increase the heat to medium and bring to the boil.
• Reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. Season with salt to taste.
• Uncover the pan and if the sauce is too runny, simmer it for another 1-2 minutes before serving.


Foot Note: This is a very quick and easy dish to make. I had it with boiled rice and naan bread. It tasted delicious; however it could do with a little bit of a chilli kick.
