About

This is the ultimate barometer of the skill of an Indian home cook. It is the most basic of dishes, just cauli and potato, so what could go wrong! Lots. This is a dish that is all about patience and a low, slow cook. This is the ultimate test in the subtlety of spicing. Overspice and you kill the cauli, underspice and you have hospital food.
