Nepali cauliflower and potato curry is called cauli aloo.

Curries of all types are very popular in Nepal and cauliflower with potatoes is a favorite.

This could be made in a pressure cooker if you have one.

This recipe is a dry aloo meaning the cauliflower and potato will release their water while being cooked so you end up with a tender bite that is not mushy.

It is a lovely recipe that is spiced up with cumin, fenugreek, turmeric and chili.

A wonderful side dish for our Nepali feast.
