Aloo Gobi Masala is a favourite dish of many people. This recipe is a restaurant style recipe with aloo and gobi cooked in the gravy itself. This makes the aloo gobi masala very tasty. I generally use Kashmiri chilli powder to get the rich red colour. You can serve aloo gobi with rotis, paranthas and even fried rice.
