In 1822, cauliflower seeds were first planted in Indian soil by Dr. Jemson, a botanist from Kew who oversaw the British East India Company’s gardens in Uttar Pradesh state. According to food historian Utsa Ray, this move was a strategic one. Cauliflower, originating in Cyprus and the eastern Mediterranean, had been popular in Europe for centuries, reaching Britain in the 16th century. In India, new foods like cauliflower were introduced as a symbol of progress for the oppressed population. Little did the British colonizers know that cauliflower would flourish in India.

The fertile soil in regions like the south Indian Deccan Plateau and the Ganges River Basin allowed cauliflower to thrive with ease, unlike in Europe. Over the years, the vegetable has become a staple in Indian cuisine. Aloo gobi, a cauliflower and potato dish, has become a globally recognized favorite. Described by chef Vivek Singh as a common vegetable curry found throughout India, aloo gobi has various regional variations.

While the preparation methods may differ, the basics remain the same: tomatoes, garlic, ginger, onions, and a mix of spices like cumin, coriander seeds, and turmeric for color. The result is a flavorful, budget-friendly dish enjoyed across India and Pakistan.

Thanks to the historical ties between Britain and India, aloo gobi has become a popular dish in British Indian cuisine. It’s a beloved vegetable dish that has successfully made its way from India to the UK.

Aloo Gobi is a flavorful vegetarian dish made with potatoes (aloo), cauliflower (gobi), and a blend of traditional Indian spices. The dish is known for its vibrant yellow-orange hue, thanks to the addition of turmeric. Along with potatoes and cauliflower, it often includes ingredients like kalonji, garlic, ginger, onion, curry leaves, coriander stalks, tomato, peas, and cumin, resulting in a delicious and aromatic dry curry.
