Intro: Aloo Gobi

I've always been intimidated by Indian cooking. I love to eat it, but was afraid to cook it. When the opportunity arose to learn to cook my favorite dish from a real Indian cook, I jumped at the chance! My team at work in HR at Autodesk came along, too. What a great way to come together as a team; cooking and eating a meal together. As you'll see cooking Aloo Gobi is actually pretty darn easy!

Great recipe. Just the right amount of spices; not too hot. No suggestions for improvement.

I am thinking eggplant and lentils. This dinner tonight!

Only thing I might suggest is dry toasting the spices for a few moments in the pan before adding the oil. I've found it actually does make a difference in the final product.
