INGREDIENTS
- Potatoes- I opted for medium-sized golden rustic potatoes in crafting this recipe.
- Oil- While I utilized olive oil, feel free to choose any neutral oil of your preference for this recipe.
- Ghee- I used homemade ghee but you can use store-bought.
- Onion- I used red onion for this recipe but yellow onion would work just fine.
- Ginger Garlic Paste- I used Homemade ginger garlic paste but you can use store-bought although I think homemade enhances the flavor of your food.
- Powder spices- They enhance the taste of the food without them your recipe would lack flavor.
- Whole spices- This gives your recipe warmth and subtle kick of taste without them the taste of the Aloo Gobi would be extremely blend.
