Aloo Gobhi

Gobhi, in my opinion is one of the most under appreciated vegetables and also often falsy classified as mundane. It is however one of my favorites because of how easy to cook and delicious it is. This is why I chose to start my cookery blog with this simple recipe to prepare aloo-gobhi!
