Aloo Gobi

I will be heading to India later this month, so I would like to share a recipe for one of my favorite Indian dishes that I adapted using Thrive foods.  Aloo Gobi in Hindi simply means potato and cauliflower, and as expected, these are the main ingredients.  This is a fairly mild dish spice-wise, but you can adjust the heat by adjusting the chillies - hot vs mild green chillies as well as the amount of red chili powder.

1/4 c oil
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 tsp ginger garlic paste
3/4 tsp turmeric powder
1/2 tsp amchoor powder
2 tsp coriander powder
1 tsp garam masala
1 tsp red chili powder
2 diced green chillies
7 c hot water
1/4 c Thrive Tomato Powder
1/2 c Thrive Freeze Dried Onions
2 c Thrive Freeze Dried Cauliflower
3 c Thrive Freeze Dried Potato Dices
Salt to taste

In a large pan heat the oil and saute cumin seeds and ginger-garlic paste for a minute, then add remaining spices and green chillies and cook for an additional minute.
Add approximately 1 cup of water followed by the onions and tomato powder and bring to a simmer. Slowly add the remaining water, salt and the potatoes and cauliflower and simmer covered for 15 minutes.

You can adjust the amount of water depending on how thick you would like the sauce.  It does thicken as it simmers, I usually keep a teakettle on the back burner in case I need to add some water while it is simmering.

Makes 8 cups


Enjoy!
