The classic Aloo Gobhi Masala (Potato & cauliflower cooked with spices)

Aloo-Gobhi masala or potato-cauliflower is one such classic combination of side dish, that has more than 1000 varieties available and any way you make, it always amazes you. I have tried making this dish more than 10 ways, but still I look for other ways to make it differently.
Recently, I found this recipe on Master Chef Sanjeev Kapoor's Page. I just loved the simplicity of the dish which brought out the flavours of this classic dish.

This is a dry dish. This dish can accompany with any Indian dal(lentil) and any kind of Indian flatbread or with plain rice. I'll recommend everyone to try out this dish sometime, will love it for sure.
