Aloo Matar / Potato Peas Gravy

 As I had already posted my version of aloo matar This gravy tastes slightly different from what I make.

 This gravy tasted similar to my peas gravy.

 This gravy uses baby potato , as I didn’t get the baby potato  I used the normal potato.

Requirements :

Potato – 3

Green peas – 1 cup

Tomato – 3

Onion – 1

Chilli powder – 1 tbs

Coriander powder – ½ tbs

Garam masala – ½ tsp

Turmeric powder – ½ tsp

Cumin seeds – ¼ tsp

Green chill – 1

Oil – 1 tbs

Salt as required

Method :

Boil the potatoes and peas.

Peel the sin of the potatoes and cut into cubes. I usually use the potatoes with the skin itself.

Grate the onion and tomatoes separately.

Heat oil in a pan , add the cumin seeds and let it splutter.

Add in the ginger garlic paste and sauté for a minute.

Add in the grated onion and sauté for a minute.

Now , add the grated tomato and sauté for few minutes.

Add the chili powder, coriander powder , turmeric powder and chopped green chilli. Sauté till the raw smell leaves.

Add in the cooked peas and potato cubes. Saute for a minute.

Add in the half cup of water and required salt.

I used the water used to boil the peas.

Cook for few minutes.

Add the garam masala and cook for a minute.

Aloo matar is ready to serve.

Serve with roti / naan.
