Aloo gobi (spiced roasted potatoes & cauliflower) is a popular Indian vegetarian side dish originating from the North Indian Punjab region cooked with onions, tomatoes, and a blend of spices. Aloo translates to Potato, and Gobi (or Gobhi) means Cauliflower in Hindi. Today I am sharing a healthier version of Aloo Gobi made with minimal oil using the Instant Vortex Plus Air Fryer. Also, be sure to check out my detailed post on making Aloo Gobi in both the Instant Pot and stovetop method. More Indian Cauliflower Recipes

Tomatoes: I have used 1 medium Roma tomato, diced (about ½ cup). Ginger-Garlic: used freshly minced ginger and garlic for the robust flavor. Green Chili: I have used 1 Thai chili, you can increase or decrease it according to your preference. Oil: I have used olive oil in this recipe, you can use any vegetable oil. Dry spices: I have used turmeric powder, red chili powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, and garam masala. You can increase or decrease the spices according to your choice.

How to Make Roasted Aloo Gobi in an Air Fryer
In a large mixing bowl, add cauliflower florets, potato, onions, tomato, green chili, minced ginger-garlic, oil, and all spices. Mix everything well. Preheat the air fryer to 380°F for 3-4 minutes. Then spray the air fryer plate with a little oil if you desire, and then spread the aloo gobi mixture in a single layer (don’t overcrowd). Air fryer at 380°F for 12-15 minutes. Shake the basket halfway through. Squeeze some lime juice and garnish with coriander leaves. Serve hot.
Oven-Roasted Aloo Gobi
If you don’t have an air fryer at home, you can also make aloo gobi in the oven instead.
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Transfer the seasoned aloo gobi mixture to a baking sheet. Spread them evenly in a single layer and cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are slightly browned and roasted (time may vary based on the size of your veggies). You may have to turn or shake them once halfway through.
Storing & Reheating
Storage: You can store the leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. You can also pair it with dal tadka, jeera rice, or basmati rice with chickpea salad on the side. It can also be used as a delicious filling for wraps or tacos, complemented by a zesty coriander mint chutney and laccha onions. Freeze: Yes, you can freeze it in a freezer-safe zip lock or containers for up to 1-2 months. Reheating: Reheat your potato cauliflower stir-fry in the microwave oven or stovetop until it is warm throughout.
