Here is a delightful dish - potatoes and peas in a tomato puree sauce. It's pretty easy to rustle up, and adds zing to any meal. The best thing is that all of the ingredients are readily available. Serve hot with naan, puris, rotis, or plain rice.

ALOO GOBI
Traditional Indian dish made of spiced cauliflower and potatoes. This dish is steamed and then fried in oil making it intentionally dry and somewhat crispy. WARNING: This dish is extremely spicy, which is the way I like it. However, if you don't like your food that spicy, feel free to cut down on the serrano pepper and/or cayenne pepper. Also, I would recommend serving this with a side of raita or plain yogurt to cool the mouth down after eating.

Steps:
- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat in a large pot. Fry cumin seeds for a few seconds until they turn golden brown and begin to pop. Reduce heat to medium, stir in the onion, and cook until lightly browned. Stir in serrano pepper and ginger; fry for 1 minute. Season with coriander, paprika, turmeric, cayenne, and garam masala; cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Stir potatoes and salt into the pot, cover, and cook for 5 to 7 minutes. Add cauliflower, cover, and cook until cauliflower steams in its own juices until tender, about 20 minutes. Stir in lemon juice. Pour remaining 1 tablespoon of oil around the edges of the pot. Increase heat to medium-high and fry for 3 to 5 minutes to brown, stirring gently to avoid mashing the cauliflower.

ALLO ALOE
A fabulously healthy juice drink from Australian chef flip shelton's 'green: modern vegetarian recipes'. Commenting on aloe vera, she says that it "has been described as a natural healer because it contains many essential amino acids, vitamins, minerals, proteins and enzymes" and she suggests giving youself "a dose whenever you feel low". From the instructions, this is clearly intended to be made using a juicer, but you could use a blender. You would then get the whole of the cucumber and apple, not just the juice. If doing this, obviously remove the apple core!

Tips:
- Choose the right aloe vera leaves: Select firm, plump leaves that are deep green in color and free of blemishes or spots.
- Prepare the aloe vera leaves properly: Wash the leaves thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or debris. Cut off the spiky edges and the serrated sides of the leaves.
- Extract the aloe vera gel: Use a sharp knife to carefully slice the leaves open lengthwise. Scoop out the clear, jelly-like gel from the center of the leaves using a spoon or your fingers.
- Use fresh aloe vera gel whenever possible: Fresh aloe vera gel is more potent and effective than store-bought gel. However, if you cannot find fresh aloe vera leaves, you can use store-bought gel that is 100% pure and free of additives.
- Store aloe vera gel properly: Store fresh aloe vera gel in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. You can also freeze aloe vera gel in ice cube trays for longer storage.
Conclusion:
Aloe vera is a versatile plant with a wide range of culinary and medicinal uses. The clear gel inside the leaves is packed with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other beneficial compounds. You can use aloe vera gel to make a variety of delicious and nutritious recipes, including smoothies, salads, soups, and desserts. Aloe vera gel can also be used topically to treat a variety of skin conditions, such as sunburn, eczema, and psoriasis. With its many health benefits, aloe vera is a great addition to any healthy lifestyle.
