CAULIFLOWER AND POTATO COOKED IN AROMATIC SPICES.
I've moved this traditional dish I grew up eating from the stovetop to my oven.
There is something about popping a dish in the oven, setting a timer, and forgetting about it. When a dish is being cooked on the stove I tend to feel I need to hover over it! Maybe it's just me!
Anyway, I love when I can convert a stovetop recipe to an oven one, and this oven-roasted gobi aloo turned out wonderful.
The cauliflower (gobi) and potato (aloo) turned out perfectly tender, and the onions were beautifully caramelized.
If you are having this as a standalone dish with some rice or grain-free roti, I would probably add in some chickpeas for protein. As a side dish, It is just perfect as is.
