Aloo matar curry / Potato and peas curry/ Aloo matar gravy sabzi / Aloomatar raswali sabzi

This Aloo matar curry recipe is very simple and easy to cook recipe. We can cook this curry in our busy days. This Aloo matar curry is the same which I usually cook at my home. 

In this recipe, I use very few and ordinary spices which we generally have in our spice box and this recipe does not take too much time. So , this recipe is simple yet delicious.

Yesterday ,I bought some fresh peas that made me to cook this Aloo matar curry. The sweet flavour of fresh peas enhances the taste of this curry. But if you don't have fresh , you can use frozen one . 

I like to use fresh veggies in my recipes but frozen veggies are pretty handy . So I never hesitate to use frozen veggies.

In this Aloo matar curry recipe, I sauteed potatoes in little oil until light golden . This sauteing process enhances more flavour to your dish. So  I strongly recommend this sauteing potatoes , if you try this recipe.

This curry goes well with rotis or parathas . I have already posted jeera aloo recipe to serve with dal and rice.

Let's start recipe:

Ingredients

• 4-5 medium size potatoes
• 250gms fresh or frozen peas
• 3 tbs oil
• 1 medium size onion
• 2 medium size tomatoes
• 3-4 cloves of garlic
• 1/2 inch ginger
• 2 tbs coriander powder
• 1 tbs garam masala
• 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
• 1/4 tsp chilli powder
• salt to taste
• cilantro or dhaniya for garnishing

Method

Wash and peel the potatoes.

Cut the potatoes in small pieces and soak them in water so that they would not get black.

Peel the onion , ginger and garlic.

Cut the tomatoes , onion and ginger in big chunks.

Grind the tomatoes , onion , ginger and garlic in a smooth paste without adding any water and keep it aside.

Heat 1 tbsp oil and add the potatoe pieces  in pan or kadhai.

Saute the potatoes until light golden on low heat. Mistakenly , mine got little more dark golden. So I will suggest you to be careful and keep the heat on low while sauteing .

After 4-5 min , transfer potatoes in a separate bowl.

Add more 2 tsp oil in the same pan .

Add tomato, onion, ginger, and garlic paste to heated oil in pan.

saute and cook this paste until raw smell of thses is gone.

Add coriander powder , garam masala, tumeric powder and chilli powder.

Add little water so that masala get not burned.

Cook the masala untill masala leaves the edges of pan or kadhai.

Add potatoes and peas and add salt at this point so that salt will get mix to the veggies.

Mix it very well and add around 1 cup of water. Amount of water totally denpends on you because some pepole like semisolid gravy and some like little watery gravy. I prefer semisolid so just added 1 cup of water.

Mix well and cover the pan.

Cook this curry for 10- 15 mins or until potatoes are cooked.

Garnish with finely chopped cilantro.

Here Aloo matar curry is ready.

Serve with hot rotis or parathas.

Enjoy!!!!
