Aloo gobi matar Sabji


This sabji is a life saver during our vedanta days. Due to the "great taste" of our canteen food we were forced to start cooking on daily basis and bring lunch. Since we used to start by 8 AM itself we mostly make this type one pot sabjis :P along with rotis for lunch. Being a beginner I tend to add more water so my room mate usually allocates me the work of making phulkas. Till date I remember her whenever I make this sabji and those precious days :). Hence no need to mention that this is a great lunch box recipe as it can be made in a jiffy and tastes great even after it gets cold. Sharing the recipe and I hope it helps you too for hectic days.

     ·         To get an idea about how to separate gobi florets check here.
     ·         I recommend mustard oil as it gives nice flavour to this sabji. You can use sunflower/corn oil if you don't have mustard oil.  
      ·         Both sabji masala and garam masala works well for this sabji.


Gives lot of volume suitable to surprise sudden guests too!!!
