[savio2710]

I tried this recipe, and it was awesome....Please continue the good work, and post some great recipes

[kubraelyas1]

Ever since I have started using your recipies, my husband has become addicted to my cooking, he doesn't want to eat out anymore!! You both are superb!! Thanks for sharing your recipies. Women like me living abroad really need some good guidance!! and that we get from you two lovely women! :)

[993akhila]

thanks for ur recipe i do have a question is it necessary to use amchur powder can we avoid it !!!and can I add lemon juice instead of that

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@993akhila : Yes, you can :)

[towhidskynet]

why you guys always use the microwave? do you know how bad it is for health.

so little oil, but using microwave... ironic!!!

[sitara10]

How do I watch your videos on Ipad?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@sitara10 : You will have to go to YouTube or to our website and watch them.

[choraleofsound]

If I wanted to serve this with rice, could I leave the potatoes out to make the meal more diabetic-friendly? Both rice and potatoes would be a bit much in the meal.

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@choraleofsound : Yes, absolutely :)

[MrChmyasir]

its amazing looking i will try

[lidogil]

[tweekran]

finally u have something where u dont use the pressure cooker. Thanks this worked for me.

[sivapec88]

it came out pretty well!! good job!!

[byen8]

thankyou lovely ladies, we'll try this one.

[juirtle]

nice recipe!:)

do you peel the tomatoes before you add them? i never have a clue about this

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@juirtle : Depends on the variety of potatoes, here we used the red potatoes and we could have kept the skin but chose to remove it as most South Asian cooking calls for that.

On a personal note: if the skin is very thin, we sometimes leave them on.

[juirtle]

@ShowMeTheCurry

thank you very much!:)

[munaawarah]

juirtle was asking about tomatoes, not potatoes =)

[amreen0031]

good work girls! Really professional....what I like here u are organised & u tell the amount of each herb so that even non-Indians & beginners can cook, thank you a lot!

[healthyvegan]

nice use of cauliflower! I posted a video of a stir fry I make with cauliflower & red peppers.

[rrajdev]

Thanks 4 the recipe.Looks gr8.I am going to try this today. keep up the good work :)

[Luv2sing2u84]

i am cooking it now. Still very wet after adding tomatoes, cooking and stirring a while. Hesitant to add dry spices.

[AmreeSykes]

Awwwh!! That looks amazing!

thanks for sharing!

<3

[vispyhomavazir]

thx girls - had a lovely dinner for my self... 

[BurntFlower03]

Excellent video!! Great tips!!

[Baigalaa1]

Thanks for the recipe. Can i substitute asofoetida with someting?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@Baigalaa1

No, but you can leave it out.

[Luv2sing2u84]

@Baigalaa1 i asked for Hing (or Ming?) at the Indian grocery store. They pointed me right to it.

[p4kiprincess]

im cooking thi stomorrow, if you dont have mango powder..can you use lemon juice for tht sourness?!

:S

[ShowMeTheCurry]

Yes, you can use lemon juice.

[p4kiprincess]

ty x

[neil2090]

@ShowMeTheCurry how much would you use and @ what 'watt' is your micowave

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@neil2090

Lemon juice is always to taste. Our microwave is 1100 watts.

[thoostorm4]

@neil2090 100WATT???LOL

[babanachiket]

nice, i like the using microwave technique, damn it saves time ! :D

[niteshmohite]

thanks ladies , you made it so simple to understand , i will go and give it a shoot , but now i know the trcik from you ;) , b4 ised to cook all my veggies with the onions and it was a fine paste i used to make thanks thanks thanks :)) you doing a good job

[doubledeckertaco]

this is totally my fav indian dish and a standby dish that everyone enjoys. your rendition looks great

[zut212]

I downloaded your recipe from your website yesterday, and I cooked this up last night. I think that it requires less coriander powder. Also, I left the potato skins on. Finally, perhaps my idea (where we cook the potatoes with the tomatoes together with the already-sauteed onions) is a good idea. After the potatoes/tomatoes are done, then add the cauliflower and other ingredients. Just my Rs.2.

I agree 100% about cooking the garlic/ginger very quickly.

[ShowMeTheCurry]

Thanks for your feedback. It's always appreciated!

[zut212]

Here is another question:

1. At 5:15, you add the tomatoes, with its very high moisture content. Now, suppose that you did *NOT* microwave the potatoes and cauliflower, and that, instead, you added the potatoes and cauliflower with the tomatoes to the cooked onions. What do you think of this idea? It would have further simplified the cooking because extra steps are eliminated and fewer dirty dishes are there.

3. Finally, Can lemon juice be used instead of amchoor?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

You can definitely skip the microwave part and make the entire dish on the stove as you mention. Microwaving is a bit faster as your veggies are cooking at the same time as your onions/tomato base (which takes quite a bit of time).

Yes, you can substitute lemon juice for amchoor. The flavor will be slightly different, but bottom line, you will get the tartness.

[zut212]

Also, I love that you used microwaves. We desis need not be anti-technology.

Finally, this appears to be easy.

[zut212]

How long did the cauliflowers cook with the potatoes in the pot?

Also, can lemon juice be used instead of amchoor?

I love the fact that:

1. A minimum of utensils were used to make this masterpiece.

2. The ingredients, except for hing, are frequently used in a kitchen, and are not thinly-used/specialty spices, such as ajwain. Some cooks tend to use "1/8 teaspoon" of some weird spice. But the truth is, nobody can percieve this small amount. So the cook has over-complicated the recipe.

[EINDHOVENTIMES]

great , i will try it out but i will stream cook the vegetables, thanks for posting this. alex from the Nederlands

[paranorma1palace]

me loves this !!!

[cyborgeyehead]

microwaves are deadly but your recipies rock

[tashsr]

i asked because this time gobhi took two hrs to cook.. even though i had done it in microwave..

but nonetheless recipe rocked..we had so many guests and all siad itni achi gobhi u.s mein nahi milti!!!

[tashsr]

hey ..the recipe is a hit in our house..veggies tastes delicious but i have a concern..u most of the time say cook it for a while..it wud be grt if u can specify the time..

[ShowMeTheCurry]

We do this only because cooking time varies depending on the heat/power setting of your stove (or microwave) and the type of cookware you are using.

[dhavalpathak]

i like hetal's detailed reasoning... VERY important ! keep it up

[smelligan]

I'm eurasian & my bf's punjabi. Tried cooking ur aloo gobi & he loved it! thanks for the recipe!!! :))

[MKFaizi]

Interesting. I am an old style Pakistani cook and i would never think to use the microwave. I might try it. I love aloo gobi served with only a very good raita.

[godspeed18]

i love aloo gobi!!! nice!!!

[rfrankme]

congratulation, I am from venezuela, is very good and delicius

[iamforumm]

thanks for the upload ^ ^

[rkirmil]

I am a beginner in term of Indian cooking, and love you guys. Very helpful.

[davefrombmore]

What is asofoetida (hing)? I have an Indian/Middle Eastern Grocery store in my town and did not see it. dave

[ShowMeTheCurry]

It will be available in a small bottle/pkcket. And it is used only a pinch at a time to help in digestion.

If you really can't find it, skip it, it will not alter the taste a whole lot.

[unclealbert27]

dude your better of buying it on ebay its cheaper

[clarivoyant]

wonderful recipe!!! thanks

[morning2004]

Where do you find mango powder? Can you substitute something else?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

Mango powder (aka amchoor/amchur) is a powder made from raw mangoes. It is available in most Indian grocery stores. The flavor is tangy or sour but not very citrus like. If you don't find it, you could substitute lime/lemon juice.

[spotjak]

love you both,thanks.

[johnmair]

hi i have a question unrelated to the video: last night i cooked diced chicken in a tomato sauce, the sauce was on a low simmer, yet still the chicken came out tough and leathery...is it because of the tomatoes? if i cook chicken this way in a different kind of sauce it is ok, please help!

[pathoplastic]

Yes, the acid from the tomato will toughen it, especially breast meat...sometimes, pan-searing the chicken meat first can help seal in the juices...I'm not sure what recipe you are trying to make so it's hard to give specific advice.

[TheJoyofSOF]

Thanks girls, this is just what I was looking for. I'll be giving this a go tonight - I even have the amchur. Cheers!

[TheJoyofSOF]

I followed this recipe and it was wonderful - thanks! (Dunno why my last comment appeared twice)

[TheJoyofSOF]

Thanks girls, this is just what I was looking for. I'll be giving this a go tonight - I even have the amchur. Cheers!

[chanianaus]

U girls just rock,Real easy indian cooking

[danbo1138]

also would this dish work with half the amount of taters and the other half with the vegi meat substitute 'quorn'?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

This recipe style works on a lot of different vegetables and meats combination. The cooking times will vary depending on what vegetable you are using.

[danbo1138]

thanks for the info.

[danbo1138]

thank god you girls are back,i'm getting my big old pan out this weekend and i'm gonna attempt this vegi feast.......any tips on how to make my own chipatis and popadoms????? thanks.

[ShowMeTheCurry]

[johnmair]

thanks alot, interesting curry, really the

first curry i've seen without a "runny sauce", im sure this will taste delicious. im going to try! just hope i can find some 'dry mango powder' somewhere in my tiny country of newzealand

[ShowMeTheCurry]

Your beautiful country of New Zealand has a very large Indian population so I am sure you will be able to find Amchur (Dry Mango Powder). Incase you can't find it, substitute with a little bit of Lemon/Lime juice.

[simon1593]

very good. Thank you.
