Aloo Gobi Kurma

When you have left nothing and unexpected guest arrives at doorstep then try this easy Dhaba style Aloo gobi and believe me your guest would lick their fingers. I usually make this on sudden arrival of guest at dinner and it’s always a hit. Full of spices and aromatics make it really a special curry. Yesterday my Hus's Friend arrived at our home without prior information. We have cauliflower, peas and some Cottage cheese left in the fridge. So we decided to make Dhaba style Aloo gobi and matar . It’s a wonderful thing about being Indian that all family members work like a team on any occasion. And the guest is like God to us. I have to prepare Aloo Gobi. So let’s start the recipe .Yum
