Aloo Gobi Masala

I had one big cauliflower in my fridge... So when I was thinking "what to make with this?"... First recipe came to my mind is Gobi 65 , nothing can beat its taste, but controlled my mind and taste buds, said to myself, "yesterday only prepared briyani, so count calories, no oil, no oil" ... Then finally decided to make chapathi with aloo gobi mattar masala, famous north indian dry side dish, but i made it bit gravy type since my hubby and kids dont like dry side dish for chapathi...ok let us go to the recipe...
