Another popular dish in Uttar Pradesh specifically during the summer season is Aloo gobhi. It is a side dish that pairs best with arhar dal and roti, but one can also have it with puri. This dish is also made in curry or dry variety, but I prefer the latter and therefore cooked that. This dish is really easy and gets made in the least time possible, therefore making it the best alternative for a meal outside.
