Vegan cauliflower potato curry is much popular as aloo gobi curry in India. This is one of the easiest and most-loved everyday Indian curry recipes.
There is no particular place this recipe is linked to. But this is popular in North India and East India equally. Very simple main course recipe that takes less than 30 minutes to prepare.
Majorly everyday Indian curry recipes are vegan recipes other than paneer or cottage cheese recipes and few creamy (malai) recipes. These recipes are healthy and quick and perfect for the everyday menu.
So this cauliflower potato curry is vegan and gluten-free. In case you want to make this healthier and skip potatoes and add other healthier veggies like green peas, carrots, etc. Also adding a fistful of soya chunks will make this curry a healthy protein-rich food.
However, I like the combination of cauliflower with potatoes and even green peas for this recipe. This is the heavenly combination in fact. If you are looking for some more Indian curry recipes, you must read my Indian curry recipes collection post on the blog.
On this blog, there is another aloo gobi recipe but that is little different and a dry sauteed cauliflower recipe whereas this cauliflower curry is a kind of stew or gravy based recipe. This combines well with both any breads (Flatbreads) and even with any rice recipe also. Try this curry with plain steamed rice. This will be enough.
The magic is you can cook this in saute pan (30min) or in pressure cooker (15 min) or even in an instant pot. This is a quick and healthy recipe for weekdays or even for weekends.
Why should we eat cauliflower?
Cauliflower is one of the healthiest vegetables. This vegetable is low in carb and high in protein and fiber. And this makes cauliflower a superfood when it comes to healthy diet food. Also, this vegetable is perfect for the keto diet. This is rich in antioxidants and have anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer properties. It keeps us healthy in many ways. I’ll be posting another post on the nutrition and health benefits of cauliflower soon.

How to make vegan cauliflower potato curry?
Ingredients For Aloo gobi curry
Vegetables: Cauliflower, Potatoes and Green Peas. You can also add carrots and soya chunks if you want.
Curry Paste: Here you can use my instant curry paste recipe. Alternatively make a paste of onion, ginger, garlic, tomatoes, green chillies.
Spices: Since this is Indian curry, we are using basic spices that are most commonly used in Indian kitchen/ Indian recipes. i.e. coriander powder, cumin powder, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, black pepper powder, bay leaf, garam masala (powdered whole spices).
I’m using Everest Kitchen King curry powder here in place of garam masala, as it has whole spices plus some other spices also. And trust me, I’m in love with it now. This is just a recommendation as I liked the taste after adding this powder to my curry recipes. Alternatively, you can also use chicken masala to the gravy. This also enhances the flavor of gravies.
