Aloo Gobi

Ingredients:

• 3 tablespoons oil
• 1/2 teaspoon black mustard seeds
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1/2 pound potatoes, cut into cubes
• 1/4 teaspoon turmeric
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 1/2 teaspoons garam masala
• 1 can diced tomatoes or 4 fresh tomatoes, chopped
• 1 large cauliflower cut into florets
• 1/2 inch piece of ginger
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 cup water
• salt

Preparation:

Heat the oil in a deep heavy-based frying pan over low heat. Add the mustard seeds, cover pan and wait for the seeds to pop. Add the garlic and potato and fry until golden brown.

Add the turmeric, cumin, coriander, and garam masala to the pan and fry for a couple of seconds. Add the tomato, and stir until the spices are well mixed. Stir in the ginger, sugar, and water, increase heat to medium and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until vegetables are tender.

Uncover the pan and add salt to taste. If the sauce is too runny, simmer for another 1-2 minutes before serving.
