Aloo Gobi is a Punjabi classic made with potatoes (aloo) and cauliflower (gobi). These humble vegetables may not sound like much, but they happen to be the perfect cavas to paint on the vibrant flavours of ginger, garlic, onions and cumin.

Aside from having two successful food blogs and being an expert on all things Malaysian, Bee is a genuinely nice person whom I had the pleasure to meet a couple weeks ago.
