Aloo Gobhi is a vegan, easy to cook, good lunch option. You can also pack it in the lunch box.

Potato and cauliflower is a match made in heaven. Aloo Gobhi Sabzi is tasty and a good menu for the weekend. Pair it with roti, nan, chapathi or phulka smeared with some ghee. 

Potato, the peace maker : 

Among all the vegetables, I find potato to be the friendliest  one. It blends well with most vegetables, you can use it with peas to make Aloo Matar or put a few fried pieces of potato in spinach gravy to make Alu Palak. Not to mention, I used to put a few boiled cubes of potato  in chana masala earlier.This  potato cauliflower stir fry of northern style is tasty as I have shallow fried the potato pieces.  Do you know, adding a cube of boiled potato helps in removing the excess salt from the gravy ?
