    ★ Why You'll Love this Recipe ★

    A Twist on Aloo Gobi

    If you’re looking for a potato side dish that’s unique and full of flavor, these aloo gobi cakes are it! They’re patties made from Indian-spiced potatoes and cauliflower—perfect as a side, appetizer, or even served on a bun like a veggie burger.

    Start with Leftovers

    The secret ingredient? Leftover aloo gobi! Make a batch of my aloo gobi recipe first, then use the extra to shape into patties. It’s an easy way to turn leftovers into something brand new and exciting.

    Spiced Patties You’ll Love

    These Indian-spiced potato cakes are crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and bursting with flavor. Once you try them, you’ll want to make them again and again.

    Make Extra on Purpose

    I actually love these cakes even more than the original aloo gobi dish, so I always make extra just for this recipe. Simply multiply the amounts depending on how many leftovers you want to turn into patties.

    Great for Meal Prep

    These potato pancakes can be made ahead and reheated for a quick breakfast or lunch on the go. They are also freezer friendly!

    Having trouble finding Indian spices at your grocery store? Try shopping Indian spices on Amazon or looking locally for a speacilty store.

    What are Aloo Gobi Potato Pancakes?

    They’re savory patties made from leftover Aloo Gobi (an Indian potato and cauliflower dish), mixed with simple binding ingredients like onion and egg, then pan-fried until golden and crispy.

    What sauces or dips go well with savory Indian pancakes?

    These potato pancakes pair wonderfully with yogurt sauce, raita, chutneys (mint or tamarind), or even a drizzle of hot sauce for spice.
