Aloo gobi

Aloo gobi (Hindi: आलू गोभी), also spelled as "alu gobi", or "aloo gobhi", is a dry Indian and Pakistani dish made with potatoes ("aloo"), cauliflower ("gob(h)i") and Indian spices. It is yellowish in color, because of the use of turmeric, and occasionally contains kalonji (sometimes called "onion seeds") and curry leaves. Other ingredients that are also used in variations include garlic, ginger, onion, coriander stalks, tomato, and cumin. A number of variations and similar dishes exist, but the name remains the same.

Trivia

This dish has a prominent role in the movie "Bend It Like Beckham"—the film's DVD contains a featurette titled "How to cook Aloo gobi.", with the film's director making the dish. This led to the pickup line 'Why cook aloo gobi, when you can Bend It Like Beckham".
