This is my mom’s favorite dish, Aloo Matar Gobi is one of the easiest to make. The aloo (potatoes) are boiled in turmeric and garlic, while the whole spices — cumin, coriander powder, red pepper flakes, paprika, garam masala — are fried in ghee (clarified butter). When all of the ingredients mingle together on the stovetop for a few minutes with a little salt and black pepper sprinkled over them at the final stages of cooking time.
