In traditional recipes for aloo gobi, the vegetables often are fried before being simmered. But we wanted a simpler, neater cooking method as well as a lighter, fresher flavor. So we opted instead to roast the cauliflower and potatoes in a high-heat oven. Before roasting, we tossed the vegetables with a little cornstarch, which assists with browning and crispness, and also helps thicken the curry when the ingredients are later simmered.

Tip

Don't cut the potatoes into chunks smaller than 1 inch or they will be overdone. And don't stir the vegetables while they roast; allowing them to cook undisturbed results in better browning.

45 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 to 2½

    pound head cauliflower, trimmed, cored and cut into 1½-inch florets

  • 1

    pound russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks

Directions

  1. 01
    Heat the oven to 500°F with a rack in the middle position. Spray a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower and potatoes with 3 tablespoons of oil. Sprinkle the cornstarch and 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper over the vegetables, then toss well. Distribute in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet and roast without stirring until lightly browned and a knife inserted into a piece meets just a little resistance, about 15 minutes.

Can you use a waxy potato like a Yukon Gold or a red new potatoes?

Hi David -

A starchy potato, like a russet, is better here since we use that starch to thicken the curry. Russets are also a bit better at soaking up the flavor of the curry.

I've made this a couple times now -- it's really delicious. Lots of flavor & still great the next day.

I can't find a whole cumin seeds. I'm wondering if coriander or fennel would be good substitutes or if I should just use ground cumin.

Lynn C.

Hi Jonathan -

You can use ground cumin. We'd cut back to about 1 tablespoon of ground and add it at the same time as the other spices.

Added carrots and peas to this recipe and it is BOLD and we love it!

This is really, really good though I think next time I will cut back on the water and add some other veggies.

Made this twice now and really liked it. I wound up uncovering it after 5 minutes to help the liquid reduce, because that wasn't happening with the cover on. My wife, who doesn't like cauliflower, raved about this. Will definitely be making it again.
