The Everyday Indian Menu is a series of lessons that Carla has created displaying standard (yet mouthwatering) dishes eaten throughout modern India, well, everyday.

This installment teaches how to prepare and make Aloo-Mattar-Gobi (Potato-Pea-Cauliflower vegetable), a dish while hard to say, is surprisingly delicious. Aloo-Mattar-Gobi is a simple Indian vegetable dish that consists of potatoes, peas, and cauliflower cooked in a variety of spices that make it near irresistible and healthy to boot! Additionally, Carla takes you through the steps to show how to make, what she calls (and we concur!), perfect steamed rice.

Carla began cooking Indian food at the age of 15 and went on to hone her skills at the best Indian cooking school ever - her mother’s kitchen! She has adapted these recipes to life in America, developing homemade curry pastes, spice mixtures and cooking sauces that make Indian cooking fun, fast and convenient. The Spice Route Homemade Indian Cooking classes aim to demystify Indian cooking, and prove that Indian cuisine is about SO much more than curry powder!

I loved this video. I am trying to learn how to cook Indian food and this was a simple recipe and very easy to follow. The instructor was jucharming, and the instructions were simple and clear. I definitely felt this was a worthwhile lesson. I also like the way the recipe was printed on the screen. Would love to see more videos from this cook!
