Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 1 medium head cauliflower, florets chopped into even pieces
- 2 medium potatoes (Russet or Yukon Gold), peeled and cubed
Spices and Seasonings
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon amchur powder (optional, can substitute with lemon juice)
- 2 cloves garlic, grated (or garlic powder as substitute)
- 1 inch ginger, grated (or ginger powder as alternative)
Oils and Garnish
- 3 tablespoons olive oil (can substitute with avocado oil or melted ghee)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preparation Steps: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Combine Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, add the chopped cauliflower florets and cubed potatoes, ensuring they are roughly the same size for even cooking.
- Add Spices and Oil: Pour in the olive oil along with turmeric, cumin, coriander, garam masala, red chili powder, salt, and optional amchur powder. Add the grated garlic and ginger. Toss everything together thoroughly so each piece is well coated with the spice mixture.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned vegetables evenly across the prepared baking sheet, allowing space for roasting and caramelization.
- Bake the Vegetables: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 40-45 minutes until the vegetables become tender and develop a light golden-brown color. Stir the mixture halfway through to ensure even roasting.
- Garnish and Serve: Once baked, transfer the aloo gobi to a serving dish. Drizzle with freshly squeezed lemon juice and sprinkle chopped cilantro over the top to enhance freshness and presentation before serving.
Notes
- You can adjust the red chili powder to your preferred spice level.
- Amchur powder adds a tangy flavor but can be substituted with a splash of lemon juice if unavailable.
- Using parchment paper helps prevent sticking and facilitates easy cleanup.
- Stirring halfway through ensures even browning and cooking.
- For a richer flavor, substitute olive oil with melted ghee.
- This dish pairs well with naan bread, rice, or as a side to grilled meats.
