Potatoes and cauliflower are two of my favourite vegetables at the moment, so I decided to give them a whirl in the Indian classic dish that combines the two, aloo ghobi. This is a dryish vegetable dish. The partly steamed vegetables are finished in the sauce, which cooks away to almost nothing, just flavoring and coating the vegetables.
