 Once the cauliflower is 3/4th done add in boiled potatoes,sauté till the masala is blended well.Check for salt and finally add in chopped coriander leaves.

Notes:

This aloo gobi recipe is mild spiced,adjust to suit your taste buds.

Always soak the cauliflower in salted hot water before cooking.This helps to remove worms. 

Don't add more water while cooking cauliflower,this will make the cauliflower mushy and will not taste good.

Cook potato with a piece of ginger this helps to relive gastric.
