Tips To Make Best Potato Cauliflower Curry

How to prevent curry from turning soggy?– First, use fresh potatoes that are less starch. Keep the potatoes immersed in water for 15 minutes to remove excess starch.

Next parboil the cauliflower only for five minutes. If you let the gobi boil for long time they will get fully cooked and by the time you add in curry, they are already soggy. Also after draining the parboiled cauliflower, rinse in cold water and wipe gently with a kitchen towel. This will prevent cauliflower from getting soggy.

Both the veggies should be completely dry. After steaming or pressure cooking the potatoes, let cool for some time so it doesn’t turn mushy or soggy.

Cook this curry keeping the pan open: Always cook this curry in a open pan. Sauteing in medium high flame, keeping the pan open ensures that the aloo gobi stays dry and crispy. If you close the pan, the curry will sweat out and turn soggy.

Do add kasuri methi at the end as it elevates the flavor of this dish.

Increase or decrease the spice powders as per preference. This recipe is for mildly spiced aloo gobi.
