When the blogging fever hits you there is no turning back. I made this Aloo Gobi masala for our dinner today. Even though the lighting was poor I managed to take step by step pics so that I can uodate the recipe today itself. I wish I could continue this enthusiasm all day everyday 😬
This recipe was taught to me by my best friend in London.She is from UP, India and I absolutely love her soft phulkas, Baingan Barta and Aloo Gobi. Though I haven’t able to recreate those beautiful Phulkas like her 😪😪, the other two recipes I have mastered. This one tastes exactly like the AlooGobi served in restaurants. The reason is the freshly ground spice powder made from Fenugreek, Saunf and Coriander seeds. Don’t miss out that. It takes approximately 35 minutes to cook and it serves 4 people.

Grinding the spices for this masala is something new. Sounds good and can’t wait to try it next time with cauliflower
Thank you so much Uma 💙 It was even new to me and am so glad I learnt this new trick from my friend. It tastes so good
