This is a version inspired by the Indian dish Aloo gobi which I love ordering every time we go to an Indian restaurant. Don’t be intimidated by the word “spiced” it does not mean that it is spicy, but fragrant using spices like cumin, coriander, and turmeric. We do love eating spicy foods though, so I do add 1/4 of a teaspoon of cayenne powder to give it just a tiny kick but in the recipe below you’ll notice I only put 1/8 of a teaspoon so that will not make it spicy at all.
A simple potato and cauliflower side dish with just the right amount of spice.
