Aloo Gobhi is the traditional north indian punjabi dish which has its fans across the globe.

I have a long association with this dish and for me aloo gobhi doesn’t have too many variations, i think i like the way my mum made it ! and now, the way I make it 😉 too modest, eh?

This is a dry dish and is to be enjoyed with phulka and dahi ( indian bread and yogurt ), tandoori roti goes very well too ! typical dhaba style !

I am sure once you try  , you too will want to make it over and over again
