Aloo Gobi Masala is a flavorsome, mild spicy gravy made by cooking Gobi florets, mashed potatoes with tomato puree, onion & spices! Aloo Gobi Masala is a great combo with roti / chapati and flavored rice /pulao. How to make Aloo Gobi Masala is presented in this recipe with step by step pictures.
Aloo Gobi is a classic combination….I often make aloo gobi dry version which I have posted long back but this is the first time I am trying out a gravy version.I got this recipe from my north indian friend and this time I cooked both aloo and gobi along with gravy itself as she suggested and the gravy turned out so flavourful and yummy. You can serve this gravy with any rotis / naan or with any mild pulaos like I did.
One of my reader asked how my gravies are redish orange in color and she wanted to know whether I add food color….I add either kashmiri red chilli powder or homemade red chilli powder other than that nothing else to add color to my gravy…Even for this I used only red chilli powder.I very rarely add kesari color…but mention it then and there where I have used food color so dont confuse with it.
