    1 Cauliflower(Medium)
  • Meanwhile, peel potatoes and cut in cubes, soak frozen peas in water. Finely Chop Onion.
    2 Potatoes( Medium), 1/2 Cup Peas(Fresh Frozen)
  • Make coarse paste of ginger garlic and green chilli. Use chilli as per your heat tolerance.
    1 Onion(Small), 4-5 Garlic Cloves, Ginger Piece Small, 1-2 Green Chillies
  • In a kadhai or heavy bottomed pan, add oil, when oil is hot add cumin seeds and asafeotida (optional). When seeds crackle, add ginger garlic green chilli paste and saute for 1-2 minutes.
    1 tsp Cumin Seeds/Jeera, 2 tbsp Oil, 1/4 tsp Asafeotida(optional)

    1-2 tsp Coriander Powder, 1/2 tsp Turmeric Powder, ½-1 tsp Red Chilli Powder, Salt to taste
  • Add peas, add ¼ cup water and let the peas cook for a while. You can cover with lid. If using frozen peas, add very less water, just enough to cook peas.
  • Drain water from cauliflower, add to the peas along with cubed potatoes. Mix well and add very little water less than ¼ cup, cover the pan with lid and cook on low flame for till cauliflower starts to look soft and tender.
  • Check for doneness of the vegetables with fork. It should roughly take 10-12 minutes. Don't overcook cauliflower, as I like slight crunch in it.
  • When the vegetable is cooked, crush dried fenugreek leaves and garam masala with hands and add to the vegetable. Cover the vegetables and cook ot for another 1-2 mins.
    1 tsp Fenugreek Leaves (optional), 1-2 tsp Garam Maslaa Powder
  • Swiich off the flame. let it sit for few more minutes.
  • Serve it hot, garnish with fresh coriander leaves.
    Fresh Cilantro leaves

Notes

For no onion no garlic Aloo Gobhi Masala, skip onions and garlic, do add ginger as it enhances the taste.
You can a tomato also after adding onions.
While making for special occasion, you can add whole spices like cloves, black peppercorns and bay leaf. It really enhances the flavour and aroma of the dish.
