The main component of aloo gobi is cauliflower, which is stewed down with tomatoes and tons of spices. You could simmer the aloo gobi for an hour or more, if you wanted to, to get the real authentic flavors of Indian food. However, this is also a simple Keto recipe for vegetarians you can make in its entirety in less than an hour. Looking for meal prep recipes? This is a great one! Store the aloo gobi in your meal prep containers with a main dish or with cauliflower rice.
What is Keto aloo gobi?
Aloo gobi is an Indian vegetarian Keto recipe that is traditionally made with cauliflower, potatoes, and lots of spices. In order to make the dish more Keto-friendly, you’ll just be using cauliflower and not potatoes. The dish always includes turmeric and a blend of other Indian spices. Sometimes curry leaves and spicy green chilis are used too.
Other ingredients to use
The ingredients chosen for this recipe are intentional to accommodate what most people have access to and cost. However, if you wish to make a more authentic version of Keto aloo gobi, you could substitute the avocado oil with ghee. As for the green chili, look at what is available in your grocery store’s produce section. You can always substitute green chili with a serrano pepper.
The dish is spicy
Please note the original recipe is spicy. You can make some substitutions to make the dish less spicy for your palette. If you need a spice-free dish, please omit the green chili pepper and chili powder. You can also reduce the amount of raw ginger used if you find ginger to taste spicy.

Step 1
Cut a raw head of cauliflower into a mix of medium-sized florets. Set the cauliflower florets aside by your stove for later. Now, in a large pan on the stove, heat avocado oil on low heat. Add raw ginger, garlic, and dry onion powder to the hot oil and stir the spices around. Let the spices get toasty and fragrant in the hot oil.Step 2
After the spices have toasted, thin-slice a large green chili into rings and add it to the pan. Keep the heat low while you cover the pan with a lid and let the chili cook to golden edges in the oil. Next, you’ll add the cauliflower florets to the pan and gently stir the ingredients until the cauliflower gets coated in oil, spices, and chilis. Season the cauliflower with turmeric, cumin, coriander seed, chili powder, and salt.Step 3
Cover the pan again and let the cauliflower cook over medium-low heat until it becomes tender. This can take several minutes depending on the sizes of your florets. Once the cauliflower is tender, add diced tomatoes with their liquid from a can to the pan and stir the ingredients gently. Return the lid to the pan and simmer the ingredients for a minimum of 15 minutes.Step 4
You may wish to simmer the aloo gobi for longer. In this case, you may need to add cups of water to your pan to keep the ingredients from burning. The longer you cook the aloo gobi, the more the flavors will melt together and the more tender the cauliflower will become. Serve aloo gobi hot with some simple cilantro or over cooked cauliflower rice.
