Aloo Ghobi

Aloo Ghobi is a vegetarian dish that is served in India, Pakistan and Nepal. Turmeric is what gives this dish its beautiful yellow color, although some people do add a little curry to the dish. It is made with potatoes, cauliflower, and spices. Green chilies and ginger give Aloo Ghobi some heat.

Recipe Notes

(Optional- fresh, canned or frozen peas can be added to the Aloo Ghobi during the last few minutes of cooking. This is completely optional and not part of the traditional vegetarian dish known as Aloo Ghobi, a vegetarian dish that is native to India and Pakistan. I just wanted to add some green to the dish to give it some more color, and green peas are a vegetable that my kids like.)
