Spicy Aloo Gobi Matar Stir Fry (Potato Cauliflower Green Peas Curry)

          A new version of mine, this spicy Aloo Gobi Matar (Potato-Cauliflower-Green Peas) stir fry is a dry recipe that goes very well as a side dish. It can be enjoyed with any Indian bread or rice preparation. 

          A great lunch box option, it can be rolled into chapattis / tortillas for a quick meal on the go. You can do many variations with the tempering and the spices. Cauliflower, being a winter special is one of my favourite veggies, every time I make, it is a delight to relish.

• 1 med. size cauliflower, cut into florets
• 1 potato, cubed
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1/2 cup green peas
• 1 tsp. garlic, chopped

          Heat oil in a pan and temper with the panch phoron. After it stops spluttering, add the potatoes and sauté for 2 minutes or till it turns slightly brown.

          Now add the cauliflower, onion, ginger, garlic, green peas, green chilies and all the dry spices. Mix well and cover.
