Dhaba style aloo gobhi Recipe -Delicious Potato and cauliflower stir fry cooked dhaba style!
Dhaba style Aloo Gobhi- Dhaba food is very popular in Northern India. Dhabas are restaurants / diners on highways and often have open air sitting arrangements. The food served at Dhabas is always freshly prepared and has the traditional flavor of the area the dhaba is in.
Dhabas in Northern India usually have a punjabi menu (lots of paneer based dishes, rajma, kadhi, etc). This is usually not the case in Dhabas in southern India which tend more towards the local cuisine. I have never had an opportunity to visit any city in South India, but hope to change that soon. Visiting a south Indian dhaba will happen then.
All the ingredients, spices, and vegetables are fresh as they are bought from the local farmers and their dairy products are also very fresh and pure so they always taste good. Most of the dhaba recipes are simple, moderately spicy, and are not very complicated as compared to the recipes served in hotels.
The food served in hotels is not as fresh as dhaba food, though it may look very fancy. Also its heavily overpriced as compared to dhaba food.
My favourite dhaba recipe is Dhaba style aloo gobhi which is made by frying aloo and gobhi and then added in a simple but flavourful tomato masala. It tastes awesome with roti, paratha, and some kind of daal or raita. Do try it once and you will surely love this preparation.
There are many recipes which are always a hot favourite in dhaba menu like –
- Daal Makhani
- Dhaba wali Urad daal,
- Bhindi Masala
- Amritsari aloo kulcha,
- Sookhi Urad Daal
- Gobhi Matar Ka Keema
- Gobhi Ka Paratha
