Loved this. The cloves did make it quite sweet, but I didn’t notice them too much other than that – which I liked anyway. Cauliflower got a bit too soft for me, but overall really nice and very morish!

just keep in mind that honey never should be cooked, i.e. boiled. The act of boiling turns it into poison, no matter how healthy it is in a raw form.

This was very good, but it was *way* too clovey for my taste. Next time, I’ll leave out the cloves, use less garam masala and maybe more chili and some ground mustard. Very good overall and I enjoyed the process. I couldn’t get black mustard seeds and I mentioned it to the wife of my local indian restaurant’s owner and she went in the back and came out with little packets of black mustard seed, whole cumin and garam masala for me! She rocks!

I love aloo gobi and both recipes sound great. What are the 5 spices (or more) for that bengali mix of panch phoran?

Good recipe–excellent flavors. The honey made it a little sweet. Next time I’ll leave it out. Added red chili flakes to up the heat. Yum!

Hi Monica, “aloo” means potato, so it gets added in with the spices as
per the recipe.

hi, came across your blog today and loved the recipes and pictures!
just wanted to say that aloo gobi (ie potatoes and cauliflower) is cooked in different ways all over india. in bengal, we do a very simple savoury dish with the bengali five spice mix (or panch phoran). In this one, the potatoes are sliced lengthwise and the cauliflower florets are separated individually. In a recipe for 2 ppl, heat a lug of mustard oil (for a distinct flavour or any vegetable oil will do). Add in about a tsp of panch phoran. Then toss in the potatoes and cauliflowers. Add in about a handful of chopped tomatoes and toss the veggies well on high for abt 5 mins. Add abt 1/2 tsp salt. Next, add abt a cup of water. Cover and cook for around 10-15 mins or till done. You can also add in a few green chillies (slit lenghwise so that they release a bit of heat into the oil but does not overpower the flavours) along with the tomatoes. Check the seasoning and serve hot.
This is a very light summery sort of dish and can be had with hot rotis or even rice.
Hope you enjoy it!!

Great dish – healthy and easy! Used ghee in place of the oil and and added buttermilk to the sauce at the very end. Instead of incorporating potatoes with the cauliflower, I served it with indian potato dumplings.
