Heard of Aloo Matar? Well this is a remixed version of Aloo Matar. And you’ll surely like it as much as you love Aloo Matar. Or even more than that. Here’s the recipe to make Potato Peas Masala.

Ingredients

2 large potatoes boiled, peeled

1 cup peas boiled, drained

1 onion grated

1 tomato grated

1 tsp. Ginger grated

1/2 tsp. Garlic grated

1 stalk curry leaves

1 tsp. Fresh coriander leaves finely chopped

1 tsp. Red chilli powder

1/2 tsp. Dhania (coriander seed) powder

1/4 tsp. Turmeric powder

3-4 pinches asafoetida

3tbsp. Curds or yoghurt

Salt to taste

1/2 tsp. Each cumin & mustard seeds

1 tbsp. Oil

Method

Chop potatoes into big pieces (8 or 10, each potato).

Heat oil, add cumin and mustard seeds and allow spluttering.

Add ginger, garlic, stir, add onion, saute for a minute. Add tomato, stir and cook till oil separates. Add all masalas, salt, curds and stir-fry till boil resumes. Add potatoes and peas, 1/2 cup water and bring back to boil. Allow simmering, covered, till gravy is thick, stirring occasionally. Empty into serving bowl, garnish with chopped coriander.

Serve piping hot, with chapattis, phulkas, or even plain steamed rice.

Note: One may reduce, increase or even delete the use of chilli as per taste, to get a spicier or blander dish. It would still be delicious to taste.
