• 1 cup Chickpeas
• 1 large Onion
• 2 medium Tomatoes
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves
• 1 inch Ginger
• 2 pieces Green chilies
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon Garam masala
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the ingredients: peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes, chop the cauliflower into florets, finely chop the onion, garlic, ginger, and green chilies, and dice the tomatoes.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and allow them to crackle for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown. This should take about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the garlic, ginger, and green chilies, and cook for another 1-2 minutes.

Step 5

Add the tomatoes and cook until they soften and the oil starts to separate from the sides of the mixture, about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Mix in the turmeric, coriander powder, and salt. Stir well to combine.

Step 7

Add the diced potatoes and cauliflower florets to the pan and mix until they are well coated with the spice mixture.

Step 8

Pour in the water, cover the pan with a lid, and let it cook over medium heat for about 15 minutes or until the potatoes and cauliflower are tender.

Step 9

Once the vegetables are cooked, add the chickpeas and garam masala. Stir well and cook for an additional 5 minutes until everything is well combined and heated through.

Step 10

Finish by adding the lemon juice and half of the fresh cilantro, stirring to combine.

Step 11

Garnish with the remaining cilantro before serving. This high protein aloo gobhi pairs well with roti or rice.
