ABOUT aloo gobi punjabi dhaba style RECIPE

This Aloo Gobi Recipe (or Potato Cauliflower Curry) is a very common recipe in northern part of India. There are several ways of making this aloo gobi curry. Today I am posting this Indian dhaba (roadside restaurant) style aloo gobi recipe. Traditionally the aloo gobi from the dhabas are quite dry which are yum whereas the one you get in the restaurants are in the form of gravy which didn’t really taste that good. Food served in dhaba is usually more spicy and oily than home food and restaurants. Aloo Gobhi Subzi is an everyday recipe made in our households, served in tiffin and even served in various restaurants as well. Potato and Cauliflower are mostly served in combination with each other. In Panjabi Dhabas the Aloo Gobhi Saag is prepared with a lot of spices to make it what they call as “Masaledar”.The magic of the Garam Masala and the Dry Mango Powder is evident in Aloo Gobhi, as these spice powders really perk up the flavor of the subzi. Potato Cauliflower Subzi has always been a very popular dish among North Indians.A lot of other dishes like Aloo Capsicum, Aloo Baingan, Aloo Methi etc. are also relished by people. Aloo Gobhi Subzi tastes best when served with tandoori roti or butter naan.
