Aloo Gobi – Potatoes With Cauliflower
Aloo Gobi is a delicious main dish made with potatoes, cauliflower, and a great blend of spices. Aloo Gobi can be served with various breads, such as rotis, parathas, and puris.
Ingredients
- 2 cups cauliflower, cut into small florets
- 2 medium potatoes, cubed into bite sized pieces
- 1/2 inch shredded ginger
- 3 tsp coriander powder dhania
- 1/4 tsp turmeric haldi
- 1/4 tsp red chili powder
- 3 tbsp water
- 3 tbsp oil
- 1/8 tsp asafetida hing
- 1/2 tsp cumin seeds jeera
- 2 green chilies, sliced in long pieces
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp mango powder amchoor
- 2 tbsp chopped cilantro hara dhania
1/4 cup water use as needed
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix the shredded ginger, coriander powder, cayenne pepper, turmeric, and 3 tablespoons of water to make a paste.
- Heat the oil in a pan. Test the heat by adding one cumin seed to the oil; if seed crack right away oil is ready. Add hing and cumin seeds to the oil after seeds crack add the bay leaves and green chilies and stir for a few seconds.
- Next, add the spice paste and stir for a minute until spices start leaving the oil.
- Add cauliflower, potatoes, 2 tablespoons of water and salt. Mix well. Cover the pan and let it cook on medium heat for about 15 to 20 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Make sure to stir gently every 3 to 4 minutes.
- Lastly, add the mango powder and fresh cilantro (green coriander). Mix everything and cover for a minute. Adjust the salt to your taste.

January 9, 2018 at 5:56 pmWhy do my cauliflowers always become soft? I want to keep them crunchy like in restaurants. But even if i dont add water they end up becoming very soft. Where am i going wrong?
Manjula Jain
January 10, 2018 at 12:47 amEllan, the only suggestion I have cook the potato for few minutes before then add the cauliflower.
Didina
December 2, 2017 at 7:44 amVery nice; I made it only with cauliflower because I had one to cook one way or another and no potatoes and it turned out well. Peas would also go well with this.
Shalini
October 8, 2017 at 10:30 pmThis is a very good recipe, cooked it for my dad and he loved it. I added carrot and frozen green peas 🙂 oil can be cut down though, I used about one and a half to two tablespoons. We also don’t like it so spicy, so I only used 3/4 of one green chili.
Your recipes are very good, Manjula. Also tried the baingan bharta, love that one very much.

February 5, 2016 at 2:44 pmI’ve been looking for a great gluten-free recipe for Aloo Gobi and this is the best one I’ve tried. Really delicious. I don’t eat potatoes but it’s totally yummy if you swap then out with sweet potatoes – there’s never any left-overs in my house!

January 23, 2015 at 3:02 pmHello Manjula. Thank you for your recipies. I enjoy cooking Indian food and since i have watched your videos my Indian cooking really improved. One question though: your bay leaves look as if they were fresh, is it possible to use dried ones aswell? Thank you for your homepage and I hope you continue enlightening my kitchen =) best wishes from Germany

December 2, 2014 at 8:37 pmManjula ji,
You have my sincere gratitude for having created such a variety of recipes at this website. I had gotten tired of my regular onion tadka aloo gobhi and decided to give your recipe a try. It has been a huge success! My daughter came into kitchen asking, “What smells so good?” For a busy mom like me, it’s so helpful to have these recipes which are easy on time and BIG on flavor!
Thank you,
Gurpreet

September 20, 2014 at 12:19 pmDear Aunty Manjula, You have done a wonderful job putting these recipes together. They have helped countless desis like myself who live in Indian transplanted communities and have lost touch with their traditional dishes.
Congratulations and keep up the great work.
Many thanks for your service.

June 27, 2014 at 4:55 pmThis recipe is soooooo delicious. It’s the first one from your website I’ve made, but it makes me see how it’s possible to become a vegetarian. Can’t wait to try more. I made this recipe 3 times this week because my husband and daughter love it. Much gratitude. Love the video.
Petri
March 15, 2014 at 9:20 amJust starting to make this variant of the famous dish. (Followed several other recipes before.)
Manjula does not seem to tell when hing (my favourite spice!) is to be added, but it is best to do it when the cumin seeds are done: it can take only some 10 seconds of heat, but needs it.
I have to use red chili as here in Finland green chilies are difficult to get. I also substitute the cayenne with fresh red chilies for the paste.
Can’t wait to taste…
Sunil Misra
February 26, 2014 at 1:05 pmThis is a good recipe. I would alter one thing based on my experience and I am by no means very experienced. The potatoes can be stir fried as can the cauliflower, separately, the paste divided proportionately, but lightly brown potatoes first, then at the end mix it all together so that the different rates of cooking don’t mush up the cauliflower, but leave the potatoes limp. And the whole dish should be stir fried more than covered and stewed. Then you get more distinctiveness in flavor. Just my guess to you, Manjula, keeper of a WONDERFUL website.

November 28, 2012 at 4:02 pmhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coriander here you can see they used the seeds i believe for the powdered form. I cook alot of indian/pakistani food becuase i love the spices used! 🙂

May 5, 2012 at 12:47 pmThank you so much for this great recipe. I have gone vegan 6 weeks ago and was struggling to find recipes. I live in Germany and our cooking here is all meat and dairy. So when you go vegan first thing you try is to recreate german cooking with costly and bad tasting meat replacements. Your recipe was easy and delicious and cheap (even though i couldn’t find asfoetida and mango powder here – added some apple sauce instead of the mango).
Abhishek
May 12, 2012 at 10:25 amApple sauce will make it sweet – but overall I guess sweet and tangy.. so not bad..
Jaya
May 13, 2012 at 6:07 amBerliner, if you don’t have mango powder, just use 1-2 teaspoons of lemon juice. Mango powder is used to give a little touch of tartness and lemon juice (in a small amount) is commonly used in India. It’s personal choice to use mango powder or lemon juice. Don’t use applesauce. Jaya

April 22, 2012 at 6:23 pmThank you, Manjula, for your recipes! I really enjoy watching your videos. I think making the paste will be very helpful (although I’m fairly certain my version will have to leave out the entire line of peppers). :- )

Your website was recommended to me by my brother. For a novice like me, it’s a real help.

By the way, I tried the bhindi sabji as well and my two year old loved it. Thanks!

March 22, 2012 at 5:38 amHi Manjula,
I really liked the way you mixed all the spices ahead to avoid getting them burnt. I’ve always had trouble figuring this one out but now you taught me the right principle.
Thanks a lot for your candidness in the video too. I thoroughly enjoyed your expert hands at it and the outcome on my own.
Best,

December 6, 2011 at 12:39 pmI love your recipes and videos. I noticed that you use hing alot. When I went to the local indian store, the have 2 types, white and yellow. Whick one do you use? What are the differences?
Thank you so much.
Vani
December 11, 2011 at 9:28 amI think you mean white and yellow containers. They both are same but different brands. I think the white one is better which is what I use.

For a long time I wondered what was a delicious dish I had when I visited Amma during her visit to Europe. I started watching your apple crisp – that I just finished baking – and couldn’t stop watching your videos, and… voila! I saw this Aloo Goobi; that was it!! I can’t wait to try it… Let’s see if I can find mango powder – the rest I have it all. Thank you for your recipes and love. Blessings from Amsterdam

May 10, 2011 at 3:15 pmThanks Leann & Jaya for your valuable suggestion. Howvever, can you please let me know what should be the appropriate thickness of a cooking pan. As the one which i am having is 3.25mm thick.
It will help me in buying a new one 🙂
Regards,
Kuku
Liane
May 10, 2011 at 4:47 amKuku,
I agree fully with what Jaya is saying in regards to using a better quality heavier nonstick pan. Please let me take that idea one step further and suggest the brand “Calphalon” which can be found in many major department stores along with Bed Bath & Beyond. If purchasing an entire set is not feasible or warranted – I suggest picking out one or two pans that will fit your needs. The quality is the BEST and I will guarantee that you will go back to making the perfect aloo gobi that you so enjoyed in India!! Please let me know how you make out!
Liane
May 11, 2011 at 4:55 amKuku,
I can’t tell you what an appropriate thickness SHOULD be but what I can tell you is to feel the heaviness of the pan itself – you’ll know more of what i mean when you actually get to the store and start actually feeling how heavy one is rather than going by what a preconceived notion of one should be. There’s no other way that I can explain besides that. An inferior made thicker pan is less useful than something sturdily made / better quality / better materials I’ve learned. More expensive is NOT always better but I would think twice about cookware – a good set that is well maintained and cared for properly can last a lifetime. If you live anywhere close to any if the stores I suggested – i would physically go there and check out your options and not just take into consideration “thickness” alone. Hope this helps! I can only suggest what I have experience with but I have a set of Calphalon that I’ve used on a heavy duty gas stove and still nothing sticks! Best investment I’ve ever made and within Calphalon itself, there are many pricepoints itself and options for each!

May 9, 2011 at 2:14 pmHi,
I used to make aloo gobhi in India quite often as it used to come out nicely. But since i have come to US i am not able to make aloo gobhi coz it burns after when i cover the vessel with the lid on low medium/ medium heat.
Somebody told me to cook the vegetable in cooker to prevent the sabzi from getting burned. It cooked well but lost its crispyness.
Kindly tell me how can i make this veg in the open vessel. I think there is some problem with my non-stick kadai??? What’s ur suggestion pls let me know.
I really dont understand what is the reason.
Regards,
Kuku
Jaya
May 9, 2011 at 7:20 pmKuku, the problem sounds like you’re using too light weight of a cooking vessel and even low heat is burning the food. Use a heavier, better quality pan, pot, or kadai and the problem should be solved. Jaya

October 9, 2010 at 6:52 amChris,
For some reasons a lot of times Indian food is often best the next day. I don’t know if it’s because the spices have time toreally “mesh” with the other ingredients but it’s true. My husband is from India and I’ve been cooking now for 10 years. Aloo gobi is one of his favorites. Just like Manjula says – take these recipes and experiment and add your own twists to them. It sounds like you’ve done exactly that! One thing I’ve noticed when cooking dishes like aloo gobi where you are stir frying a vegetable and adding spices to it – they will often stay more “crunchy” until you add salt to them. That’s when they go soft. I sometimes, if I want that crunchy texture, will add salt a little later on in the cooking process or even add the onions later on which Manjula doesn’t use because she’s Jain. Onions add water and will make dishes like this “go soft” and so will adding salt early in the process. Also, if you cover the dish while cooking will make a difference…. you just have to play with it a bit to get the results you are looking for but like I said – it sounds like you are doing just fine!
Chris H
October 7, 2010 at 2:34 pmWhat a great dish – I’d like to say *thank you* for your excellent website.
When I started cooking this recipe, I often found that the spuds (I’m english) didn’t soften fast enough and I would lose the cauli structure and texture by the time it was ready for serving.
Now I usually microwave the potatoes for 4 or 5 mins before putting them in the pot – that way I can have the cauli still little crunchy with the spuds soft…..
delicious!
Maybe just something to do with the type of potatoes we get here in England – anyway, thanks and best wishes
Chris
PS- I also like to get a red chilli, and chop it to really fine strips before putting into the mix – it adds nicely to the appearance……
….and I find this dish to be even better when left to go cold, and eaten the next day – sometimes I just try a little taste – but before I know it, I’ve eaten the lot!
Fran
September 6, 2010 at 11:35 amThis is one of my favorite recipes to make for my husband. Also, one of the first recipes I have found in a long time that doesn’t need some tweaking to make it taste better. Thank you for posting it.
JM, since I have always made this with fresh cauliflower I would avoid the frozen if possible. If you do use frozen make sure to lay it out on some paper towels when thawing. The only thing I can think of is the added moisture might make the dish have too much water.

June 23, 2010 at 9:22 aminstead of cauliflower ive experimented with other vegetables like zucchini with wonderful results! also, if you double the recipe you can get away with still only using 3 tablespoons oil.
Joanne Newby
June 14, 2010 at 11:23 amHi Manjula
This is my first time at your website, so glad I found your recipes. My question is about doubling the recipe for Aloo gobi. Should I just double the amount of each ingredient or ??
Thanks
Joanne

June 14, 2010 at 10:12 amThank you for sharing your recipes Manjula. I tried the peas and paneer last week and it turned out so delicious. I don’t I’m going to pay to eat it at the restaurant cause I can make it just as good. I’m looking forward to making the aloo gobi today for dinner.

instead of hing whtelse i can use?
Jaya
April 10, 2010 at 5:41 amRabz, If you don’t have hing, just skip it. Or, if you eat onions, you can a chopped medium onion after the cumin seeds pop and let it saute until soft for a few minutes.
Hing is used when onions and garlic are not.

March 25, 2010 at 10:06 amHi Manjula Aunty,
You’re so sweet and an excellent cook. I love your web site and the way you explain to cook. Thank you so much for wonderful and easy recipes. I have already tried moong dal dosa, peda, aloo baigan and many other dishes….ooh they have come out all soo good.
Many Many Thanks!
john
March 22, 2010 at 11:25 pmperfect! i make this in double quantity on sundays so i have a few dinners throughout the week. it never fails to be a savory dish at the end of a long day.
thank you, Manjula.

March 18, 2010 at 9:56 pmHi Manjula!
I found your website recently and wanted to say thank you! It is so nice that you do this! Tonight I realized that your cooking classes are held in San Diego…I live in LA, but if I can ever get enough time off from work, I would love to come take them. I also made aloo gobi tonight and while it tasted great, it was a little mushy, the vegetables started to disintegrate and it did not look like your picture at all. I found that I had to keep adding water to it, or it would start sticking to the pan and burning…should I have added just a little more oil instead of the water? I followed the recipe exactly except for adding extra water. Again, thanks for making the website, it’s great!
Sonia
March 16, 2010 at 10:37 amHi Manjula
what can i use instead of mango powder? A squeeze of lime or lemon? What’s the taste of mango powder?
I’ll love if you could enlighten me. xx Sonia
Manjula Jain
March 16, 2010 at 3:56 pmSonia,
Use lemon juice.
Tina
March 16, 2010 at 5:17 amHi Manjulah; you’re my U-tube Grandmother! Your recipe and instruction is wonderful! This recipe has become a household favorite and a recipe go to when I am short on ideas and time. Thank you! Just a tiny thought….the substitution of lemon for the mango powder should be in the recipe; I had read all the comments to get to the answer. Peace!
Frank Salatino
February 21, 2010 at 1:06 pmI just tried your Aloo Gobi today. It was very easy to make, and it tasted wonderful! You did a wonderful job explaining how to do it on your video which helped me greatly. Thanks! Frank

January 30, 2010 at 5:45 pmI’ve tried making aloo gobi a few times before and it was never that good. I tried your recipe and it was awesome! Thanks a million! I love your site and your videos! Keep them coming please!
Oded
January 22, 2010 at 12:11 pmSherry D, I couldn’t get mango powder anywhere either – I live in Israel and apparently it isn’t very popular here. However, I think I found a good substitute: mango chutney works very well, try it out.
And Manjula – thanks for the wonderful recipes!

Michael
January 8, 2010 at 3:26 pmLike your husband, this is also my favorite dish. I have never made it as you do, I usually fry the spices directly in the oil. This will be exciting to try. Thank you.

January 3, 2010 at 2:48 amDear medam
when i was came to delhi , i eated the dish called dal makhini, I came to my own town coimbatore. i told with my wife about aloo gobi paratha, and dal makhini, basically i am a potato and cauliflower lover. but my wife was very weak in cooking. but she tried dal makini in her own ways as i told. but it was not so good like the same. when i searched through web I saw your methods in youtube , I really happy , The first thing iam going to house and tell about your website with my wife. I hope she will also be a good house cook in coming days with the help of manjulakitchen.com Thanks a lot
alicia!
December 26, 2009 at 8:04 pmi Manjula–thanks for a great recipe. my husband was very excited about it!
Bhavika
December 11, 2009 at 8:02 pmThanks Jaya and Manjula Aunty.
I will go with your suggestions
Bhavika
December 6, 2009 at 10:45 amHi aunty,
I don’t eat potatoes being a Jain.
Can I substitute the same using raw bananas.
If yes then how many cups should I use for this recipe
thanks,
Bhavika
Manjula Jain
December 6, 2009 at 2:09 pmHello bhavika,
I have never tried with banana but I do substitute potatoes with green peas about one cup.
Jaya
December 6, 2009 at 5:56 pmI think banana would taste quite awful if you mean the sweet yellow type of banana.
If you don’t eat potato, just skip it and add a little more cauliflower or peas as aunty suggests. Bananas? No.
Misha
December 7, 2009 at 2:05 pmHi Jaya,
If you read carefully, Sherry says raw banana. Raw banana is often used to substitute for potatoes especially during fasts.
-Misha
Jaya
December 8, 2009 at 6:23 amHi Misha, thanks for the info as I was not aware of that.
Dave
December 21, 2009 at 6:10 pmHave you considered plaintains? They are like bananas, but are larger and aren’t sweet (unless you let them ripen for too long), and are often used to make chips or to make a mashed potato-like dish (mofongo).
karla
November 23, 2009 at 10:20 amhi Sherry,
You can buy mango powder at Superstore (amchoor powder).
Sherry D
November 6, 2009 at 10:59 amDear Manjula,
I cannot find mango powder where I live. Is it essential to the dish? What does it add in flavor? Is there anything I can substitute for it?
Thank you for your helpful advice on Indian food – I’m trying to learn how to prepare it.
Sherry
Manjula Jain
November 6, 2009 at 12:10 pmHi Sherry,
use lemon juice as a substitute.
Jaya
November 6, 2009 at 3:41 pmMango powder adds a touch of tang to Indian dishes. Lemon juice is a good substitute. Use 1 to 2 tsp. only until you figure out how much tartness you (and others eating the food) like.
Joan
November 6, 2009 at 10:39 amHi Aunty,
First thing first, this is one of the classic recipe and I loved watching your video on youtube, before I came to this site. This is the first time i have ever cooked a recipe that tastes so good!! You are Awesome!!
I could never learn when my Mom wanted to teach me, too busy with studies, and now I am planning to settle down and my would-be is a big foody and loves north indian food. So I am learning it through your website. 🙂
I must say you remind me of my Mom so it makes it even more special for me and its great to be able to cook such wonderful yet simple home food through your website
thanks very much for taking your time out to share this!
Next I am trying chole batura!

May 18, 2009 at 10:43 amHi,
Sooooo glad I found this site… It’s absolutely wonderful with simple and clear instructions… My dream was to become little by little a vegetarian as I adore Indian food… You should receive an award Manjula…!!!! However, i live in South America and it’s impossible to find many of the spices… for instance hing and the mango powder, even garam masala… can you suggest with what it can be replaced please? My eternal gratitude!!!
Takloo
May 4, 2009 at 8:40 pmThis came out fine the first time I tried it. The second time was perfect. I made
the following modifications.
1. Used curry leaves instead of bay leaves
2. Used paprika instead of cayenne (less heat more color)
3. Hand ground coriander seeds in a mortar to make the powder (fresh ground seeds seem to make a big difference)
4. Microwave the cauliflower+potato for 3 min in the microwave reduces cooking time.
4. After frying the ginger-spice paste, added 1/2 cup water. This allowed the
spices to coat/stick to the cauliflower better.
pallavi
May 22, 2009 at 2:38 amthis is indian recipenot fast food so we avid microwaving..i think manjula style is better than urs…bay leave is garam masaa u cant replace it but u can sure add extra cury leaves…

March 8, 2009 at 5:11 pmI cooked this for a friend, also I did your basen puda, mint raita and daal. He said he had never tasted food like this before. Coming from someone who has eaten all different types of food it is a real compliment and he asked me to thank you.
Real home cooking beats restaurant food. Thank you Manjula, I have enjoyed following your recipes.

December 30, 2008 at 11:20 amDear Manjula:
I made this dish with a few missing ingredients (cauliflower -I doubled the potato amount, amcoor, haldi, hing, and green chillies – used dried, red chillies instead) and added green peas and the dish still turned out pretty tasty. Thanks again for providing the recipe!

I have friends coming over nest week and I would LOVE to surprise them with the amazing popular chicken dish!
Thanks so much!

October 29, 2008 at 6:17 amVarsha: “I have seen you using chopped cilantro in almost all of your receipes. Now can you please tell me how to keep these leaves fresh for a longer period of time?”
Once chopped, you can freeze cilantro and it will keep for a long time. You can then take it straight from the freezer to garnish meals with, and it will defrost quickly.
Liz C
October 17, 2008 at 9:49 amHi Manjula,
I made this last night too — my first Indian dish! It came out very well even though I had to cheat a little on some of the spices. And I didn’t cut the potatoes thin enough so the cauliflower was overcooked by the time the potatoes were done. I will do better next time, I promise.
I made chapathis to go with it and they also came out great.
Thank you for your videos. Some things are easier to learn by seeing rather than just reading.
Aneesa
October 17, 2008 at 9:14 amHi Manjula,
I made this last night for my family and they absolutely loved it! I have never gotten my brother to enjoy a vegetarian meal but he loved it, and It looks like I will be making this recipe again and again! Thank you!

October 1, 2008 at 2:46 pmManjula – I can see why this is your husband’s favorite. It is delicious. Thanks again for a great recipe/video. And also thank you for making a video about rolling out the breads. I see comments that others (like me) have a little trouble keeping the dough from getting tough. I know you need to skip the kneading in the recipes, but a video just about rolling out the dough will be great. Thank you again,

Thank you very much.

Manjula Jain
September 8, 2008 at 12:25 pmHello Shubhi,
Some times vegetables can have more moisture then other (Like one lemon has more juice then other) next time if you experience the same don’t cover the pot so water can evaporate faster and don’t stir too much that will make subji mushi
Manjula

September 8, 2008 at 11:54 amHello Auntyji,
I tried your aloo gobi recipe today, it was good, but it didnt look as dry as yours, it was a little mushy. I followed your recipe, after adding the gobi and salt to it, it sarted giving up water .I cooked for 15 mins not more. Do u think i m doing something wrong?. Plz let me know.
THANK YOU!

August 22, 2008 at 4:28 pmI really like your recipe. It is very good. This seems to be a dry curry, is it possible to adjust the recipe so there is more of a sauce?
Thanks

August 16, 2008 at 5:10 pmHello,
I just found your website today & made the Aloo Gobi . It is the best I have ever eaten or made. I added peas & red pepper & more chilly powder. It would be a great dish to take to any pot luck dinner. My wife loved it & as a vegetarian I will be back here a lot. I have already forwarded your website address to my friend & my children ..
Thank you
Thank you

Manjula Jain
July 6, 2008 at 10:17 pmHello Josef,
It depends on potatoes, some times potatoes can be just dry not have enough moisture so you will need to add some more water. As you mentioned you use wok, if potatoes you cooked without covering it will take more time and more water.
josef
July 6, 2008 at 7:42 pmHi Manjula, I just made this and it took over 40 minutes for the potatoes to finish cooking. I used a wok instead of a pan, could this be in part why? I don’t exactly understand how the potatoes are supposed to properly cook with only 2 tbsp. of water.
I’d appreciate it if you could help me with this =) I love your recipes, I make the chick pea curry almost every week.
Murasaki Shikibu
July 2, 2008 at 5:54 amI had a craving for Indian food and your website and Youtube videos have been a great help to me. Thank you very much!

Hope you don’t mind – I also used the same technique – added a little tomato sauce, 1 lb ground turkey breast, peas to make keema matar.

April 28, 2008 at 3:15 amDear Majula, I’am a great fan of Indian vegetarian cooking. Years ago I did a cookeryclass with Darshan Kumari in Amsterdam. I still have her little booklet with the vegetarian recepies we made. Since then I make Indian dishes regularly.
I like your video presentation. Thank you very much for the recepies. I particularly like the breads.
I live in Holland and I put a link on a forum for home bread bakers of which I am a enthousiastic member.

April 15, 2008 at 6:46 pmDear Manjula,
Thank you for this website! I have grown up with my friends family making wonderful Indian dishes, but the process of making curry chicken, where ghee is required, scared me away from ever trying to make it myself. Now I see that not all recipes are so labour intensive, and have since made Aloo Gobi and couldn’t be happier. Watching your videos takes all the fear away!
I hope too see more dishes on your website, and I will check back frequently. One of the treats I would like to know how to make is ludoo. Thank you again. I am very happy!
Sincerely,
Martha
Laura
April 13, 2008 at 12:53 pmThis sounds delicious. Thanks for the “variations” tip, I was thinking of adding peppers to begin with, but I wasn’t sure how to handle it, since I’ve never made this before.

March 30, 2008 at 4:33 amHi Manjula,
Thank you for this. I’ve been searching for a good, authentic Aloo Gobi recipe for a few months, and this is perfect!
Your video says to use 1/4 teaspoon of Turmeric, but the website says 3 teaspoons. I followed the directions according to the video, but you may want to update the website. 😉
