Aloo Gobi

1.0

(1)

This Glorious One-Pot Meal is a take on a traditional Indian dish. Consider changing it up with chicken, sweet potatoes, and broccoli in place of chickpeas, white potato, and cauliflower. Turmeric has anti-inflammatory properties and may be helpful for people suffering from internal swelling of joints or nerves, as with fibromyalgia, arthritis, and multiple sclerosis.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 2

Ingredients

Canola oil spray
1/8 teaspoon black mustard seeds
1 cup jasmine rice
1/2 medium onion, thinly sliced
One 15-ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1/8 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
3/4 teaspoon garam masala
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon sugar
2 tomatoes, chopped
2 handfuls fresh baby spinach leaves, chopped
1 potato, cubed
2 cups cauliflower florets

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 450°F.

    Step 2

    Spray the inside and lid of a cast-iron Dutch oven with canola oil.

    Step 3

    Sprinkle the mustard seeds in the bottom of the pot.

    Step 4

    Rinse the rice in a strainer under cold water until the water runs clear. Tip the rice into the pot and spread in an even layer. Add 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon water.

    Step 5

    Scatter on the onion and evenly spread the chickpeas on top.

    Step 6

    In a small bowl, mix the turmeric, cumin, coriander, garam masala, ginger, and sugar. Fold in the tomatoes and spinach and pour half the mixture over the chickpeas.

    Step 7

    Create a layer of potato and then a layer of cauliflower. Pour the rest of the tomato mixture over all.

    Step 8

    Cover and bake for 45 minutes, or until 3 minutes after the aroma of a fully cooked meal escapes the oven. Serve immediately.
