Tamatar Masala Anda - Poached Eggs in Tomato Sauce
Alu Gobi - Curried Cauliflower and Potatoes
| By : |
Pairing cauliflower and potatoes is a very common thing in the Indian kitchen. I personally find cauliflower to be a very adaptable and versatile vegetable. There are variations of this combination all across India, but this particular recipe uses basic spices from the Punjabi pantry. For the dish to work, the cauliflower should be cut in larger pieces and the potatoes in smaller cubes.

Outstanding! I ended up using a pre-mixed Masala packet, next time I attempt this I’m going to do everything from scratch for brighter flavors. Thank you!
SO good!
Good very spicy
Very good. 1 cup of Masala paste seems a little overkill. I recommend 1/4 cup.
Has anyone made this yet? It says to cook on MANUAL LOW PRESSURE mode for 1 minutes. Is that a typo? Raw potatoes and califlower don’t cook in a minute in this pot, do they? The flavor is great but I had to finish cooking it in the microwave even after ignoring the instructions and cooking for 6 minutes.
This is very easy and tastes wonderful. Serves one, right?
One minute low pressure. I followed the instructions exactly. The cauliflower and potatoes were tender but not mushy. Large pieces of cauliflower and smaller cubed potatoes.
The paste was not too much. I probably used more than one cup and the veggies soaked it up.
