I’ve never gotten the chunks-in-gravy style alu-gobi (restaurant kind) quite right. I usually make the easier fine-chopped dry kind. Let’s see if this attempt works. Looks more promising than usual. I’ve decided the trick is a lot of fresh ginger and a long simmer.

Damn I think I nailed it. A little bit of hypothesizing and some mindfulness go a long way. Looks right, tastes right. I think I was too impatient in the past and didn’t summer long enough. 20 minutes is about right. Gobi just starting to fall apart.

Partial credit to fresh farmers market cauliflower and tomatoes, but this turned out better than any restaurant version I’ve had in recent memory 😎

One reason I don’t try to hard to refine my cooking is that if I get it really right, I really overeat. If you stop at mediocre it’s easier not to.

Looks good! For fun: the disc version of Bend It Like Beckham has an Easter egg with the director (Gurinder Chadha) cooking Aloo Gobi with her aunts. It’s worth the entire price.
