The first meal I ever cooked on my own was aloo gobi matar. I saw it on Bend it Like Beckham DVD as a special extra and decided to give it a try while my mom wasn’t home. Imagine my mom’s face when she came home to a fully cooked meal made by her 15-year-old. This cauliflower, potato, and pea curry is the perfect place to start if you’re trying to learn how to cook Indian food. It’s very simple and doesn’t require any crazy spices.
