Swadisht Gobhi Aloo

Here is the first recipe on my blog. I prepare this whenever I want to treat my family to something delicious in a short time. It takes less than 30 mins. from the refrigerator to the dining table and you can enjoy a simple but elegant meal.

(Serves 2-4) [It suffices 4 people if served with other sabzi/dal, and 2 if you wanna enjoy just gobhi lunch/dinner]

- 1 medium raw potato cubed

- 1/2 tsp mustard seeds

- 1/2-1 tsp pav bhaji masala(depending upon your spice level)
- 1/4th cup water
- 2 tbsp oil
- salt to taste
Sajawat:

3. Remove the sauteed florets in a plate.
4. Add cumin, & mustard seeds in the oil. Allow to splutter. Add asoefetida.
5. Add raw potato & ginger chiili paste, cook for 5-6 mins or until potato starts browning. Add chilli, turmeric, corriander pwd & pav bhaji masala. Let these mix for a min.
