If you know my Dad at all, you will know that there are these certain dishes he cannot live without. He can eat these almost every other day, he will want these as a staple whenever eating out or at a get together. He will critique these at the minutest details if we dont get it right, and this also applies to pretty much most of his generation.

One of those dishes is Aloo Gobi mutter. The Gobi(Cauliflower) should be tender florets and not mashed. The Aloo(Potatoes) just about done, and a generous amount of Mutter(Peas). Most days the version mom makes should be called Mutter aloo gobi(basically a peas stir fry with some potatoes and cauliflower :)). Each of us have our preferences, dont we.

This is definitely not the perfect version for Dad, but a staple side nonetheless. We end up with some variation of Aloo gobi and veggies atleast once a week. For variations, use difference spice combinations, add some greens, or some cooked chickpeas!
