Aloo gobi stir fry - aloo kobi bhaja.

My mom used to cook this side dish for roti in winter season as those days cauliflower were available in more quantity in winter and the veggie is fresh and seasonal and it becomes tasty.It is the favorite dish my father munch can anytime even 24 hours a day.I remember my childhood days when my father comes home late at night and used to cook it even in mid night and satisfy his taste buds with lots of this cauliflower fry with out the conscience of my mom as my mom used to get angry very often for this behavior of my dad .We three sisters used to laugh a lot when they both will fight for these silly matters..
