This Paleo Aloo Gobhi recipe is a wholesome, nutrient-packed twist on the classic Indian dish, perfect for anyone following a paleo or gluten-free lifestyle.

Cooked in rich, flavorful coconut oil, this one-pan meal is quick and easy to prepare in just 45 minutes and makes a satisfyingly healthy side dish or plant-based main course. Garnished with vibrant fresh cilantro, itβs a feast for the senses and ideal for meal prep or serving at your next dinner gathering!
