Possible Alterations for the recipe, ‘Potato Cauliflower Gravy Curry (Instant Pot, Stove Top)’:
Adding more masala: Do not add garam masala powder, or any other garam masala spices. Which will only ruin the authentic taste of this restaurant style recipe.
Eliminate Onion-Garlic: As we are using tomato as liquid for gravy, you can eliminate adding onion-garlic.
Potato variety: I have used white baking potatoes, so that they are easily cooked.
To skip green peas: Yes, you can. Shouldn’t make a difference.
How to serve, ‘Aloo Gobi Masala Vegan Indian Curry’:
The best option is as a side dish with steamed rice (basmati / long grain) either white or brown rice. And any of the Indian style pulavs.
- Green Beans Masala Rice
- Spinach & Chickpeas Pulao Rice (South Indian style)
- Green Moong Beans (Sprouts) Pulao (Instant Pot / Stove top)
- Jeera Pulao / Cumin Rice (Instant Pot, Stove Top)
- Spring Onion Pulao / Salad Onion Rice
- Methi Pulao / Rice with Fenugreek Leaves
Next comes the option of serving it along with Indian flat breads like, Naan, Roti, Phulka, Paratha.
If you intend to balance the spice, you can have this curry and a serving of raita or plain yogurt , along with either rice (or) Indian flat breads.
