Inspired by the popular Indian dish aloo gobi , this dish is loaded with vegetables and flavour. Ghee is used as the cooking oil in this recipe because the vegetables are being roasted at a high temperature. Ghee has a high smoke point which means it won't oxidize and produce free radicals when heated at a high temperature.
