This is a very basic version of the traditional Aloo Gobi recipe. I did not find it any drier than other versions of this dish. It is supposed to be very dry; not all Indian recipies are intended to have a sauce!! I found the flavor however to be fairly bland, though not disagreeable. This is a minimal recipe that would be good to use on a day-to-day basis, not for company. The exclusion of onions is also regrettable, since that eliminates a lot of the traditional flavor. the paprika is a little different from other Aloo Gobi versions I have tried, but I would probably use less of it, and add a little more zing via green chili peppers in my own version.

It's so dry! I took the advice of others and added both 1/2 can of coconut milk AND nearly 1/2 cup of vegetable broth, but still it was dry. I didn't have any paprika, so used a little cayenne instead, which made it quite spicy. Also, used nearly 2 tsp of fresh ginger in place of the ginger paste. I don't think I'll bother to make this again, as there are better Indian dishes on this site -- see "Cholay," or "Absolutely Perfect Panak Paneer" or "Curried Chickpeas."

Very authentic tasting (just like the restaurants!). Perfect amount of spices - mild, just as I like it! I used 1 tsp. salt, then added about 1/4 tsp. when it was finished cooking. I didn't have ginger paste, so I used about 2 tsp. fresh, chopped. I used a lot more cilantro - 1/2 of a bunch. Thanks so much for the recipe!

Good but could definitely be more spicy! I did add coconut milk and diced tomatoes as others had suggested which I thought was awesome!

Really good!- however this was after I too doubled all the spices, added about 1/2 c of chicken broth halfway through and cooked it for about 20 mins. total- 10mins with just the potatoes and spices and then 10 more after I added the cauliflower

I followed others' advice, and added half a can of coconut milk and a can of diced tomatoes. I wish I'd omitted the garam masala - there is something in it I don't much like. I will make this again but use a different curry powder.

The recipe is really good but it's missing some things. First off, it was really dry and it should really have some curry to it. I realized that the colour wasn't catching on to all of the cauliflower... just the tops and bottoms. I used half of a big cauliflower which might have been more than a pound. I added tomatoes (which you really should put in) and one cup of water. The water made it lose a bit of flavour and it was still dry. So after reading the other reviews, I added 1/2 can coconut milk and that made a good curry base. Also, I didn't have cilantro, so I used parsley instead, which worked well. In total, I put in twice the amount of spices that the recipe asked for, for the half a cauliflower I used. This makes the curry rich and flavourful. You need to simmer the dish on low for about 20 minutes longer as well. In the end ...it turned out great!

I liked this recipe a lot. It is dry, but I think it is supposed to be that way, because youre supposed to eat it with a dahl.

I think that the spices are right but something seems to be missing. I had a lot of trouble sauteing two potatoes and a cauliflower in onne tbsp oil!! If I didn't add a bit of tomato, it would have stuck to the pot. Also, the cooking time was dramatically longer than the recipe indicates.

The combination of spices in this recipe is heavenly! The only thing that I did differently was add some plain yogurt and let it simmer to keep it from becoming dry. A sure favourite!

The lady in last review was correct, by adding the coconut milk and tomatoes it gave the dish more taste and prevented it from being dry. This is a must do recipe.

I made this according to the directions, but it seemed so dry... I added a small can of coconut milk and a diced tomatoe at the end of the cook time, and then simmered an additional 8 minutes or so. The result was delicious! I think the tomatoe and coconut milk should really be included in the recipe. Also, I used curry and a small amount of cumin instead of tumeric.
