Ingredients for Vegan Aloo Gobi

Fresh onion and garlic
Fresh ginger. can be substituted with ground ginger powder, but fresh gives this curry a better flavor.
Spices. Including ground coriander, garam masala, ground cumin, turmeric powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
Cauliflower
Potatoes. I prefer to use Yukon Gold potatoes in this recipe because they hold their shape and are still fluffy and soft inside. Russet work ok, but can fall apart.
Canned diced tomatoes. Preferably with no salt added. If the can you use has salt, adjust the salt in the recipe to taste.
Plain vegan yogurt or coconut cream. Optional, but provides a some creaminess and the fat content helps the flavors develop.
Fresh cilantro

How to Make Vegan Aloo Gobi

Step One – Prepare the Vegetables

Peel the potatoes and chop into 1-inch pieces. Cut the cauliflower into florets. Set aside. Dice the onion and prepare the grated garlic and ginger.

Step Two – Start the Aromatics

Heat a large pot or high-sided skillet over medium heat with 1/4 cup of water. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté for 3 minutes, mixing to prevent sticking. Add the ginger and spices and cook for another 2 minutes, until fragrant.

Step Three – Add the Vegetables

Add the chopped potatoes and cauliflower and mix with the spices. Pour in 1/2 cup of water and the can of diced tomatoes, stir well. Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes and cauliflower are fork tender. Add more water if needed to prevent sticking.

Step Four – Finishing Touches

Once the veggies are tender, remove from heat and stir in the cilantro and vegan yogurt or coconut cream.

Storage and Meal Prep Tips

Storage: This curry keeps well in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Reheating: Heat in the microwave on 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until hot. Alternatively, this curry can be reheated on the stovetop with a splash of water or vegetable broth to prevent sticking.
Meal Prep: For convenience, store individual servings in separate glass meal-prep containers to grab and heat as needed. If serving with rice or quinoa, store together.
