Spiced Aloo Gobi Traybake Recipes

ALOO GOBI RECIPE (INDIAN-SPICED CAULIFLOWER & POTATOES)

Steps:

• Heat ghee in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shallot, garlic, ginger and serrano chili and saute until fragrant and golden, about 3-4 minutes. Add curry leaves, cumin seeds and mustard seeds and saute 1-2 minutes.
• Lower heat and add remaining spices - turmeric, paprika, asafoetida, coriander- along with tomato with its juices. Cook the tomatoes down on low heat for about 4-5 minutes until they begin to break down.
• Add salt and water, give a good stir scraping up any browned bits.
• Add potatoes and cauliflower, toss to coat. Cover, bring to a gentle simmer over med-low heat and cook, covered until fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Uncover and reduce, until all the remaining liquid is gone, stirring occasionally. You want this fairly dry ( the ghee will keep it moist).
• Spoon into a serving dish, scraping all the goodness out of the bottom of the pan over top.
• Garnish with cilantro sprigs. Serve with naan, basmati rice or roti!

ALOO GOBI TRAYBAKE

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 190°C (170°C fan-forced).

• Spread the Aloo Gobi mix on a large, rimmed baking tray (44cm x 31cm x 2.5cm)
• Bake in the pre-heated oven for approximately 45-50 minutes until potatoes are done and all veggies are starting to brown at the edges.
• Remove from the oven. Sprinkle kasoori methi. Toss to mix the roasted veggies with the softer, cooked tomatoes and onion. Check and adjust seasoning (especially salt). Top with coriander leaves and serve hot with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 220C/200C Fan/Gas 7. Tip the potatoes, cauliflower, onion, garlic, ginger, turmeric, chilli, spices, oil and salt into a large roasting tin, and mix well. (If everything doesn't fit comfortably in one layer, transfer half of the mixture into a second roasting tin.) Transfer the tin/s to the oven to roast for 40 minutes.
• After 40 minutes, add the cherry tomatoes and boiling water (evenly between the two if you are using two tins), then return to the oven for a further 20 minutes, reducing the heat to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6.
• Taste and adjust the salt as needed, squeeze over the lime juice, and scatter with the fresh coriander before serving with hot rice or naan breads.

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat in a large pot. Fry cumin seeds for a few seconds until they turn golden brown and begin to pop. Reduce heat to medium, stir in the onion, and cook until lightly browned. Stir in serrano pepper and ginger; fry for 1 minute. Season with coriander, paprika, turmeric, cayenne, and garam masala; cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
• Stir potatoes and salt into the pot, cover, and cook for 5 to 7 minutes. Add cauliflower, cover, and cook until cauliflower steams in its own juices until tender, about 20 minutes. Stir in lemon juice. Pour remaining 1 tablespoon of oil around the edges of the pot. Increase heat to medium-high and fry for 3 to 5 minutes to brown, stirring gently to avoid mashing the cauliflower.

SPICED SALMON WITH TRAYBAKED SAG ALOO

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Cook the potatoes in a large pan of boiling salted water for 6 mins. Drain in a colander and leave to steam dry for a few mins. Toss the potatoes in a roasting tin with 1 tbsp oil, the turmeric, ground cumin and chilli flakes and plenty of seasoning. Roast for 20 mins, tossing halfway through. Boil the kettle.
• Put the spinach in a colander and pour over boiling water until wilted. Use the back of a wooden spoon to squeeze out most of the water. Rub the salmon generously with the spice paste and drizzle with oil. Stir the spinach through the potatoes and top with the salmon, skin-side down. Increase the heat to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Return to the oven for 20-25 mins or until the salmon is just cooked. Remove the salmon to stir the cream into the potatoes, then replace the salmon and serve with lemon wedges for squeezing over.

• On a large baking tray, toss the potatoes and cauliflower with the spices and 2 tbsp oil. Season well and roast for 45 mins, stirring halfway through cooking, until the veg is soft and starting to brown.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a large pan. Fry the curry leaves and garlic for 1 min, making sure the garlic doesn't brown. Add the tomatoes, chillies, sugar, lime juice and some seasoning. Cover with a lid and simmer for 15 mins until the tomatoes have broken down.
• Add the roasted veg to the tomatoes. Simmer for 5 mins, adding a splash of water if the curry gets too thick. Stir through the coriander and serve with rice, warm naan and yogurt.
