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.

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 425°F. 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.

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.
