    We are into the second week of the Blogging Marathon, and I decided to make Curries or gravies for this week. Though in a typical Tamilian menu, curry is referred to a dry side dish, most other parts refer to the side dish that's served with Rice or Rotis. I have used it in a boarder term to include the gravy side dishes. These mostly get done within 30 mins and will be a great help when pressed for time.
    I started this Aloo Gobi Subji thinking to make it in a different way but ended up with a different flavour when I stopped with just Poppy seeds powder and served it with Rotis. We enjoyed the different tastes coming out by adding just poppy powder and nothing else.
    With the kids still on their vacation, this was a quick lunch for hubby dear and myself.

     

     

    Cauliflower Potato Curry with Poppy Seed Flavour | Aloo Gobi Subji

    Ingredients Needed:

    Cauliflower florets - 1 cup
    Potatoes - 2 medium
    Onions - 1 medium
    Tomato puree - 2 medium
    Ginger Garlic paste - 1/2 tsp
    Red Chili powder - 1 tsp
    Coriander powder - 1 tsp
    Turmeric powder - a pinch
    Garam Masala - 2 pinches
    Poppy seeds powder - 1 tsp

     

    Method to prepare:

    Chop cauliflower into small florets, soak in hot water for 5 mins. Make marks on the potatoes and microwave for 5 mins. Once done peel the skin off the potatoes.

    Heat a pan with oil, sauté onions till brown. Add ginger garlic paste, sauté till it's cooked well. It takes about a minute.

    Then add the drained cauliflower, salt and turmeric. Cover with lid and cook for 5 -7 mins. Since we only par boiled the cauliflower, simmer the pan with lid to ensure it gets cooked well.

    Puree the tomatoes, add to the pan along with cooked potatoes, red chili powder, coriander powder, garam masala. Cover again and cook till the tomato turns to look well done and oil comes out on the sides.

    Finally add about 3/4 cup of water. Bring to boil. Add poppy seed powder. Chopped coriander leaves and simmer for 2 mins.

    Serve with chapatis.

      Aloo gobi looks yummy. Have never used poppy seed powder before. I am sure it would have tasted extra good.

      I love aloo gobi combination but usually make a dry curry. Your curry goes well with rotis
