Aloo Matar (Potato and Green Peas in Tomato Gravy)

ADVERTISEMENTS

Aloo Matar (Potato and Green Peas in Tomato Gravy) is a hot spicy gravy that suits well with all types of rice, chappati, naan and poori. I blend tomatoes to get nice colour and taste of the gravy. Also fresh green peas taste better in tomato gravy.

Ingredients

• Fresh green peas – 1 cup
• Potato – 2 no
• Juicy tomato – 2 no
• Green chilli – 1 no
• Ginger garlic paste – 1 tea spoon
• Red chilli powder – 1 tea spoon
• Turmeric powder – ¼ tea spoon
• Garam masala powder – ½ tea spoon
• Coriander powder – 2 tea spoon
• Salt – as per taste
• Coriander leaves few – for garnishing
• For seasoning
  • Fennel seeds – 1 tea spoon
  • Cinnamon sticks – 2 no (one inch long each)
  • Oil – 2 tea spoon

Method

• Blend tomatoes in a blender; chop onion and green chilli; peel and cut potatoes into cubes.
• Heat a pan with oil and do the seasoning.

• Then add onion, green chilli and fry till onion is red in colour.

• Now add ginger garlic paste, all dry masalas, salt and fry for few seconds.

• Add blended tomato and mix well.

• Now add potato, peas and some water.

• Mix, cook well till potato and peas are soft and the gravy gets thick (I kept potato and peas for 4 minutes in microwave oven to save time and then added); add some coriander leaves and mix well.

• Garnish with remaining coriander leaves and serve hot with steamed rice, chappati.
