Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 cauliflower cut into florets
  • 1 potato cubed
  • 1 red onion sliced
  • 1 tsp. Ginger garlic paste or minced
  • 1.5 tbsp. olive oil or cold pressed mustard oil
  • ¼ cup tomato puree or paste
  • ½ tsp. Garam masala
  • ½ tsp. Red chilli powder or cayenne
  • ½ tsp. Ground coriander
  • ½ tsp. Salt
  • 1 tbsp. cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  • Cut the cauliflower into florets. Keep the florets small so that they cook faster.
  • I also peel and chop the stalk and use. You can use as per your like.
  • This is a medium sized cauliflower about 1 lb. Or 500 gm. In weight.
  • Then peel and cut 2 potatoes in small cubes and keep aside.
  • Slice one red onion. Mince ginger and garlic in equal quantities. Mix them and use 1 tsp.
  • In a large bowl, take cauliflower florets, cubed potatoes and sliced onion.
  • Add ginger garlic paste or minced, ½ of the oil and salt.
  • Mix everything well so that all the veggies are coated.
  • Meanwhile preheat air fryer at 360F or 180C for 5 minutes.
  • Lay potatoes and cauliflower with sliced onion tossed with oil and spices in one layer in the air fryer basket.
  • Air fry at 360F or 180C for about 18 minutes.
  • Keep shaking the basket once every few minutes for even cooking. You will find that the veggies start shrinking a bit.
  • Mix together tomato puree along with the other spices like garam masala, ground coriander, cayenne or paprika and the rest of the oil.
  • Spoon it over the almost roasted potatoes and cauliflower.
  • Mix well so that the entire aloo gobhi is coated well.
  • Place the air fryer basket back into the air fryer.
  • Air fry at 360F or 180C for about 4-5 minutes more till your cauliflower and potatoes are well cooked.
  • The edges get crispy and browned.
  • I pick out one cauliflower floret and one potato cube and check for doneness.
  • If not yet done, I air fry for a minute more.
  • Your aloo gobhi or roasted cauliflower and potatoes Indian style are done.
  • Take it out in a plate and garnish with chopped cilantro and serve hot.

Notes

Cut cauliflower and potato in similar and small sizes. This is very important for even cooking.
Adjust the seasonings as per your taste. You can adjust the spices based on what you like. The veggies still taste great.
If your cauliflower florets are too large, you can microwave them for a minute or two so that they are slightly precooked before you air fry them.
You can skip tomato puree but it does give the veggies a nice tang.
Keep shaking the basket a few times for even cooking.
This is a vegan recipe. You can add other veggies like broccoli or carrots here as well.
