This Aloo Gobi recipe is a take on the traditional Aloo Gobi which is prominent in Indian cuisine. Aloo Gobi, meaning potatoes and cauliflower, are the stars of this dish. This meal is loaded with spices known for their potential immune enhancing/anti-inflammatory properties including turmeric, garlic, and ginger. Although broccoli is not a traditional ingredient, I couldn’t resist adding an extra pop of green color and nutrition.
