Recipe: Vegan Aloo Gobi

Aloo Gobi is a classic North Indian dish that is made with potatoes, cauliflower, and a variety of spices. While it is the common and simple curry we all love, there are many variations of this that are less known. Aloo Gobi has a more international flavor than most other Indian curries. This dish is perfect for a weeknight dinner, as it is quick and easy to make. I hope you enjoy this one!
