Aloo Gobhi

We have been on an indian food kick lately.  Meanwhile, I've been wanting to cook with cauliflower, so this dish was a perfect combination.  Our first attempt had too many potatoes and was served with rice.  Too much starch.  Scooping up with paratha is perfect.  Warmed tortillas will work in a pinch.
