    What is Aloo Gobi?

    Aloo Gobi (Spiced Roasted Potatoes & Cauliflower) is a popular Indian vegetarian side dish originating from the North Indian Punjab region cooked with onions, tomatoes, and a blend of spices. Aloo translates to Potato, and Gobi (or Gobhi) means Cauliflower in Hindi.

    Today I am sharing a healthier version of aloo gobi made with very less oil in the Instant Vortex Plus Air Fryer. Also, check my detailed post on Instant Pot & Stovetop version of making aloo gobi.

    Oven-Roasted Aloo Gobi

    If you don't have an air fryer at home, you can also make aloo gobi in the oven instead.

    • Preheat the oven to 425ยฐF. Transfer the seasoned aloo gobi mixture to a baking sheet.
    • Spread them evenly in a single layer and cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are slightly browned and roasted (time may vary based on the size of your veggies). You may have to turn or shake them once halfway through.

    Serving Suggestions

    Air-fried Aloo gobi can be enjoyed as a side dish with Indian flatbreads like roti, naan, paratha, or poori and cucumber raita.

    You can also pair it with dal tadka, jeera rice, or basmati rice with salad on the side.

    It can also be used as filling in wraps or tacos, along with some coriander mint chutney and pickled onions.

    Storing & Reheating

    Storage: You can store the leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.

    Freeze: Yes, you can freeze aloo gobi in a freezer-safe zip lock or containers for up to 1-2 months.

    Reheating: Reheat your Indian potato cauliflower stir fry in the microwave oven, or stovetop until they are warm throughout.

    Tips & Notes for Indian Roasted Potatoes & Cauliflower

    • Time to cook: The time to cook aloo gobi in the air fryer will depend on how you cut the potato & cauliflower. Chop the potatoes a bit smaller than cauliflower as cauliflower cooks faster than potatoes.
    • Don't overcrowd: Make sure to spread the aloo gobi mixture in a single layer in the air fryer basket to cook evenly. Cook in batches if needed.
    • Rinsing & drying: When you rinse and dry the veggies, you can leave some moisture in it, as it helps them to cook.
    • Shake the basket halfway: It's important to shake the basket halfway through to allow the vegetables to be cooked evenly.
    • Spices: Adjust the spices according to your taste. You can also add crushed kasuri methi (dried fenugreek leaves) to the stir fry once cooked, for a restaurant-style flavor.
    • Air frying time: The cooking time will vary based on the air fryer being used, so keep an eye on the cauliflower after the 12-minute mark.
