Cauliflower And Potatoes – Aloo Gobi (Air Fryer Recipe)
Aloo Gobi is a quintessential Indian vegetarian dish. Aloo stands for potatoes and gobi means cauliflower. This dish goes very well with Indian breads such as roti, parathas or naan. There are many methods of cooking this dish. Here I have used the air fryer to first fry the cauliflower florets and the potatoes and then made the dry curry. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Quj7qA246-4
