Potato Cauliflower Curry (Aloo Gobi) | HealthySlowCooking.com

This is another Tasteful Selections™ sponsored post. I’ve really enjoyed having a stash of their Honey Gold and Ruby Sensation potatoes for the past few months. I’ve made stews, soups, roasted potatoes – but it was about time I made one of my favorite curries, Slow Cooker Potato Cauliflower Curry, also known as Aloo Gobi.

This is a great dish to introduce people to Indian food. It’s mildly flavored and you can even leave out the small amount of chili powder so kids can enjoy it.

Usually my recipe makes enough for 4, but I thought I’d increase this one to 8 servings so you will have enough for any holiday guests that may be at your house

Trust me when I tell you that curries turned me and my picker eater into cauliflower lovers. The cumin and ginger take away the slight cabbage flavor that some people find unpleasant.

I have to admit that one of my food pet peeves is when someone tells me that they don’t like curry. It’s not that I think everyone should like what I like, but the stews we call ‘curries’ are made up of various combinations of many different spices. They all taste different.

I think it’s important to try new things. Sometimes the things you hated years ago can be one of your favorite things now.  This dish will make your house smell delicious if it’s cooked on the stove or in the slow cooker. That will help you lure Indian food newbies to the table for dinner.

Author: Kathy Hester

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small onion minced (about 1 cup)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cumin seeds
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger
  • 2 teaspoons ground turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 4 cups Tasteful Selections Honey Gold Potatoes cut into chunks (1 - 28 oz page)
  • 4 cups small cauliflower florets
  • 1 to 2 cups water
  • 1 - 14.5 can diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 to 1 teaspoon chili powder to taste - optional
  • salt to taste
  • steamed rice for serving

Instructions

  • Heat the oil in a saute pan if you are making the slow cooker version or a large soup pot if you will making the whole dish on the stove.
  • Once hot add the onions and saute until translucent, about 10 minutes. Stir in the cumin seeds and saute for about 3 minutes. Then add the garlic, ginger, turmeric, coriander and cardamom and saute another 3 minutes, or until the spices become fragrant.

Finish in the slow cooker:

  • If you are going to cook it the rest of the way in the slow cooker add the cooked onion and spice mixture, the potatoes, cauliflower, 1 cup of water and the diced tomatoes with liquid. Cook on low for 8 to 9 hours.
  • Before serving add chili and salt to taste.

Finish on the stove:

  • Add the potatoes, cauliflower, 2 cups of water and the diced tomatoes with liquid into the soup pot with the cooked onions.
  • Bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender about 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Add chili and salt to taste before serving.
  • Lazy tip: If you want to you can skip the sautéing and throw everything into the slow cooker. It won't be quite as flavorful, but it can really make your life easy during a busy week.

Notes

This curry is very mild on purpose so you can introduce new people to Indian flavors. If you are not making this for Indian food novices I would up the cumin seeds to 1 tablespoon, the ginger to 2 tablespoons and throw in about 1 teaspoon garam masalas if it needed a little more kick.

    This sounds amazing. would you have a guess as to how much pre blended curry spice I would use for this quantity? I don’t have all the spices to blend my own.

      Since garam masalas and curry powders can vary so much I would add 1 teaspoon in the beginning and add more to taste in the last few minutes before serving.

    Some of my family liked this but it was overcooked in 5.5 hours (in crockpot on low). Are you using an older, less hot crockpot? Mine is only a few years old.

      Hi Ellen. I’m not sure what you mean by overcooked, but I think you didn’t mean run out of liquid in the slow cooker. If I’m right your veggies were just too soft.

      In reality most slow cooker dishes are essentially ready and can be eaten before the long cooking times. Exceptions would be dishes with dried beans, because they usually need the full cooking time.

      I have found that most people are looking for a dish that will hold at low for 8 to 9 hours because of their job, so I usually frame my times to show that.

      If you want to email me more details I’d be happy to trouble shoot with you. (I’m also emailing this response to you.)

        Thank you so much, Kathy, for responding. I really appreciate it. Yes, I meant that they were overcooked and I’ll just keep in mind to cook it less in the future.

    Thank you for this lovely recipe… it was waaay too bland for our taste, but the base was truly wonderful. I added the following: 1/2 veggie cube in the water, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp nutmeg, 1 tsp sugar (or xylitol), 1 tsp coconut oil, 1 tsp garam masala, 1/2 tsp fennel seeds.

      I definitely made this recipe mild and it’s great you doctored it up to suit your family! If I was not making this for Indian food novices I would up the cumin seeds to 1 tablespoon, the ginger to 2 tablespoons and throw in about 1 teaspoon garam masalas if it needed a little more kick. (Sorry I should have included that option in the original recipe.)

    Slow Cooker Aloo Gobi looks good. I also add some garam masala to it for little bit more heat.

    What a pleasant surprise to find a vegan based site as one of the first options in my search for slow cooker recipes! I’m looking forward to tasting this when it is ready tonight, thanks Kathy.

    Can I make this a couple of days ahead or will veggies be soggy? If yes, do I reheat in a pot on stove.

      I eat on it a few days after I make it. The cauliflower and potatoes are pretty resilient. You can reheat in the microwave, on the stove top with a little extra water or even in the oven on top of rice.

    Hi Kathy,
    All your recipes sound great and I am looking forward to trying this one. I recently purchased the 3.5 quart Cuisinart that you recommend (with the simmer setting). Will this recipe fit in this sized slow cooker?
    Thanks so much!

    Dear Kathy,
    If I want the cauliflower to be a little crunchy what would be the best cooking time in the crockpot?

      Honestly, I would do it on high for about 2 hours. It makes it not as easy if you want it to cook while you are away at work.
