Slow Cooker Aloo Gobi

This popular vegan dish has spread throughout India, and it seems every cook has their own version. Our version of Aloo Gobi is easily prepped in the morning or even the night before and then popped in the slow cooker to simmer away all day so it is ready to eat when you come home from a busy day.

Served with rice or naan, this dish made from simple fall vegetables is a delicious meal on its own. It’s also makes a nice side dish when you are looking for a new vegetable to serve with your favorite entree. Using common autumn vegetables you most likely keep on hand, the only out of season vegetable called for is tomatoes. Feel free to substitute 1 ½ cups of canned crushed tomatoes if fresh tomatoes are not available.

You can further adjust this recipe to take the heat out of the spices by using only one Byadgi Chiles pepper or cutting them out all together.
