    • Reviews

  • “This is similar to a dish that I posted, but since I can’t review my own recipe, thought we would try Kevin’s.This recipe has more spices, and we loved the addition of ginger, so I guess we are converted!Thanks Kevin.”

  • “I’m a longtime fan and a relatively novice cook of Indian food; this recipe, as written, came out pretty boring and dry.Everything good is there, I just had the impression that all of the spice proportions needed to be at the very least doubled and the amount of water was closer to 3/4 a cup to avoid getting a rather bland, dry dish.”

  • “It is delicious.I agree that you can cut way down on oil and add more water as needed.Delicious flavor.”

  • “I’ll join the chorus–this is delicious and SO aromatic–it’s almost worth it just for the wonderful smells that fill the house while it is cooking.”

  • “another good variation of aloo gobi – very similar to how i make mine. i am sure this will be very friendly to a palate that is not accustomed to spicy or pungent food. in my case 1-2 chilies would have been rather bland, so i used 1/2tsp each of ground chili and garam masala – this has the advantage of also giving the dish a good vibrant color. i used half the amount of oil and more than double the amount of water. we enjoyed this with roti.”

  • “Very good basic aloo gobi recipe.I liked the addition of ginger a lot.I like that the cauliflower is steamed in the pan- it makes it easier to get it cooked just-right.I used a little Zhoug (#57689) instead of the chilies.I used black mustard seeds, also, since that is what I usually see in Indian food.I used 1 large russet potato, 1 medium head cauliflower and 1/2 large onion, and kept all the other measures the same.I ended up adding a bit more turmeric because I love the stuff.I steamed the potato until just undercooked, then added it into the wok when the cauliflower was almost completely done.Turned out very well.Thanks, Kevin!”
