My Aloo Gobi

Ingredients
1 lb. potatoes
1 whole cauliflower ( 1 lb )
1 lemon (or equivalent lemon juice)
2 teaspoons Garam Masala
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 teaspoon chilly powder
1 teaspoon ginger/garlic paste
2 green chillies
1 teaspoon coriander seeds
1 bunch of coriander leaves
1 tablespoon salt

Wash the potatoes and microwave them for 4 minutes in a plastic bag and leave them to cool. Heat the oil in a pan and fry the corriander seeds for about a minute or until they pop. Add the finely sliced green chillies and fry for another minute. Now add the cauliflower florets and fry for about 7 minutes. Make sure you stir the cauliflower florets every minute so you don't burn them.

Peel the potatoes and dice them into 1 inch cubes. Add them to the pan along with all the spices, ginger/garlic paste and salt. Fry for about 5 more minutes or until vegetables are cooked.  The cauliflower should be crunchy, so take care not to overcook.  Add the lemon juice in the end and stir. Finally top with the chopped up coriander leaves and serve hot.
