Gobhi Aloo...yummy vegan Indian food!

I have tried another version of this dish from another cookbook and it was super yummy. We love Indian food so this was right up our alley! It was easy, cheap to make, healthful, and delicious. Can't beat that combo!! I had to modify it (of course!!) because I didn't have all the ingredients. I served it with rice and veggies to the side. Yummola!

Gobhi Aloo (adapted from Urban Vegan)
3 T oil
1/2 t mustard seeds
1 onion, chopped
1 1/2 t salt
2 in piece of peeled ginger, minced
2 t garam masala
1 t ground coriander
1 t cumin
3/4 t turmeric (Braedon was helping me cook and he dumped about 1/8 of a cup of turmeric into my oil - ahhh!! I had to scoop it out so there was more than 3/4 t even after trying to get most of it out! It was still super yummy!)
4 potatoes, peeled and diced
3 cups cauliflower (I hardly had any and actually used about 1 cup frozen...I used 5 potatoes to make up the difference)
1 1/2 cups canned crushed tomatoes (didn't have these either! I thinned some tomato paste with water and made a sort of tomato sauce. It was thinner than crushed tomatoes so I didn't add the 3 T water. Worked perfectly though)
3 T water

Heat oil and add mustard seeds. Cover. When seeds start to pop, add onions, spices and ginger. Cook 1 min. Add potatoes. Cook until potatoes start to brown - about 10 min. Add tomatoes and cauliflower (if it is raw - I would recommend waiting if you are using frozen as it will get to done too quickly. If using frozen, I would recommend adding for the final 5 min of cooking). Cover and cook until potatoes and cauliflower are tender.

Serve over rice.
