Aloo Gobi

This is a simple dish of potato and cauliflower and tastes really good with roti or with daal and rice. A friend of mine at work likes it so much, whenever I get this for lunch he just snatches my lunch box and makes me eat his. I remember once I took double the amount to make sure we both can have it but the outcome was same, I ended up eating his lunch and he ate it all and all by himself.
