Potato & Green Peas Curry | Aloo Matar
Tuesday, December 26, 2023
Aloo matar, basically potato and peas curry. - goes well with Indian bread like poori or chapati. Usually, the dish has more gravy consistency but, I made it bit dry as it is more convenient for me to take it for my lunch. I follow Ranveer Brar's recipe. you may watch his video here.

Ingredients:
- 3 cups - potatoes - cubed
- 1 cup - green peas - shelled
- ½ tsp - cumin seeds
- 1 inch - ginger - chopped
- 6 - 7 - garlic cloves
- 1 big - onion
- 3 - green chilies
- handful - cilantro /fresh coriander leaves
- 2 medium - tomatoes
- ½ tsp - turmeric powder
- 2 tbsp. - coriander powder
- 2 tsp - red chilli powder
- 3 tsp - oil
- 3 tsp - ghee
- 3 cups - water
- Salt - as per taste
- handful - cilantro /fresh coriander leaves (for garnish)
Preparation:
- Wash, peel skin, & cut potatoes into cubes (about a inch)
- Remove the peas from the shell. Frozen or can peas may be used
- Make a coarse-paste of Tomatoes, green chilies and coriander leaves
- Prepare ginger garlic paste with pinch of salt
- Finely chop onion and keep aside.
Method:
- Heat oil in a pan. once it is hot add cumin seeds.
- Once the seeds starts to sputter, add ginger garlic paste. Sauté for a 30 seconds
- Next add chopped onion and sauté until onion turns translucent. I also add pinch of sugar to help onion to sweat and cook fast.
- Add turmeric powder and coriander powder, mix.
- Now add tomato, green chili and cilantro paste and sauté until tomato is cooked and mushy.
- Next add red chilli powder and ghee, keep stirring.
- Now add cut potatoes, sauté for about 2 minutes and then add green peas and mix.
- Mix-in water, cover and cook until potatoes are tender. Stir in between and make sure the curry is not burnt at the bottom. [I used less water and simmered on low flame to make dry curry]
- Remove the pan cover, smash couple of cooked potato cubes from the curry and mix. This helps the curry to thicken further. Cook for a minute of so then switch off the stove.
- Garnish with chopped cilantro /fresh coriander leaves. Serve hot Aloo Matar curry with Poori or roti/chapati
