aloo gobhi matar dry recipe

Step 1

First, we will do some prep. We will marinate the veggies in some salt and then briefly air fry. Chop the cauliflower into bite size pieces and add it to a bowl. Peel the potatoes and slice them into quarter inch pieces. Add it to another bowl. Add half a teaspoon of salt to each of the bowl and mix well. Also add a few slit green chillies to the potato marinade. We will be air frying them too! Let it marinate for 30 minutes.

Step 2

Now add a teaspoon of oil to the cauliflower and toss well to coat. Arrange the cauliflower in the air fryer and fry for 10-12 minutes at 180 C. Try not to crowd the fry pan and fry in batches if necessary. You can also bake them in an oven instead of an air fryer.

Step 3

Now lets air fry the potatoes. Drain the water from the potatoes. Add a teaspoon of oil and toss well to coat. Fry the potatoes the same way like cauliflower for 10-12 minutes. Set aside.
