    I always make sure to include pure veg Indian dishes into my weekly menu plan.

    You can imagine the upside of eating veggies of course, we all know that they are good for us.

    As a meat lover I find it difficult at times to completely enjoy veggies when they are just plainly cooked without much flavor additions.

    That's why I tend to enjoy a dish such as this easy spiced Aloo Gobi Masala.

    Veggies cooked in a spicy gravy such as a curry can convince you that eating vegetables can be pure pleasure.

    Some cumin here, some garlic there, a pinch of yellow turmeric to brighten the dish and a handful of fresh herbs to finish it.

    You can manipulate the seasoning of vegetables with spices in countless ways and let your creativity flow.

    That's what I do and sometimes the result is a taste pleasure but I do have to confess that I had my bad seasoning days in the past, especially at the beginning when I tried using more and more new and unknown spices.

    I made mistakes but learned of them, adjusted the flavors until we were convinced that the flavor was satisfying our hunger for dinner.

    If a new dish turned out exceptionally well I would post it here, as I have been doing since 2011, such as this aloo gobi masala - potato cauliflower curry.

    Sometimes instead of using different spices I would prefer to rely on a spice blend mixture (masala).

    It saves time and comes handy.

    Easy Aloo Gobi Masala - How to make Aloo Gobi Curry Recipe Vegetarian step by step one-pot nut-free gluten-free curry recipe easily made for weeknight dinner www.MasalaHerb.com

    Popular spice blend types include Garam Masala, Tandoori Masala, Chole Masala, Chaat Masala, Meat Masala, Kitchen Kind and Curry powder.

    In today's aloo gobi masala you will find Curry powder, which is one of the most popular spice blends in the Western world.

    The German's use it in their Curry Sausage, the french in their mayonnaise.

    In India, curry powder is absolutely not present in any traditional dish what so ever!

    In fact I only found one shop, who sells ready made curry powder in North Goa, I am sure there should be more, but to be honest it's still nothing compared to Europe.

    In Europe you can see everywhere curry powder, in all shops, it is quite popular.

    I enjoy curry powder too so I created my own, which I posted here.

    It's so easy to make your own curry powder at home and it can save you so much food preparation time while providing a great flavor experience.

    I think you should try it sometime and then make this aloo gobi masala.

    It will take you about 25 minutes altogether to prepare and cook this dish, saving you effort and time after a long day at work.

    My Aloo Gobi Masala is a one-Pot, quick and easy, vegetarian, gluten-free and nut-free curry dish! See below the printable recipe for serving suggestions.

      Looks great! One of my fav dishes; I may try to make at home. Do you know any substitutes for the cream, to make this vegan? (My brother is very sensitive to milk products.) Thanks!

        Hi Amy, you could try using coconut cream instead. Coconut milk is liquid, the cream isn't.

      I never buy curry powder mixes, although I'm pretty sure there are some new spice blends that are much improved from the ones available at the supermarket. I make up my own, which has a lot of heat. As a vegan, I LOVE almost all veggies & yes, they are usually, but not always, improved by a little seasoning, even if it's only salt. I do have to point out, I doubt many people would eat much meat if the taste wasn't almost completely altered by seasoning.

        Hi Susanne,
        I am quite curious now about your spice blends. Do you make a lots and store the masala then or do you come up with new spice blends continuously? Well, the point of view can be debated upon. One thing is for sure, spices and any seasoning can make a dish more interesting. πŸ™‚

      Like all Indians, I don't use curry powder, but they do come in handy. It's much like ready made garam masala. While it's OK to use them, nothing like a fresh blend. The gobi looks so flavorful and well done. I can polish that entire bartan on my own.

      You bet! Spices can indeed do wonders to any vegetarian dish and the best part is they need just a little bit to bring out the best in them. Alu Gobhi tastes best when it is a bit on the spicier side in an Indian style curry.

      It is funny how "curry powder" isn't used by Indians at all. I don't ever use curry powder in my Indian dishes and neither did my mother. Now, when I want to make a British Indian dish, I break out the curry powder blend. In my everyday Indian cooking, it's usually just cumin, coriander, turmeric and chilli powder.
      Aloo gobi is one of my favourite dishes made with cauliflower. I've never used curry powder in it, but sounds intriguing. I will try it that way for sure next time, it looks wonderful!
