Aloo Matar / Potato and Peas in Tomato Gravy

Aloo matar is a very famous North Indian Dish. This dish is so simple that it is made with little ingredients and gives you restaurant taste. It goes well with chapathi, naan, rice, fried rice, rumali roti, kulcha and kerela paratha. This recipe is a bit different than authentic aloo matar. I have added some ingredients to make it much more tastier.

NOTE : 

  • One can also try with other vegetables like baby corn,  potatoes, mushroom and any other vegetables of your wish. Gives you almost the same taste.
  • Number of green chilies depend on how spicy they are. I am using 5 as mine are not very spicy
  • Can use curry leaves also.
  • Can add little cashewnuts while making paste to make the gravy thick.
  • Asafoetida is used to stimulate appetite and digestion and to help neutralize flatulence.
Time Taken : 15 Minutes
