Achaari aloo gobi is definitely an Indian side dish of potato and cauliflower roasted in pickling spices. Everybody makes their very own form of this dish — the recipe may even differ between two different households. Some cooks add spices earlier, some add later. Some use garlic clove towards the cauliflower, some don’t. The key for this version would be to not allow the cauliflower overcook and be mushy, such as the taters, so you receive a wonderful contrast between soft and firm in the vegetables and spicy and fresh in the herbs.
