Aloo Matar Ki Sabji | Aloo Matar Curry

Aloo Matar ki sabji is a simple curry made of aloo and matar. It is very popular in Indian cuisine. We often make aloo matar ki sabji at home. This is a quick recipe and needs very basic ingredients. Here I am sharing without onion and garlic recipe. This has just aloo (Potato), matar (green Peas) and basic spices.  

Aloo (Potato) has an important place in our kitchen. Most of the vegetables are cooked with potatoes as methi aloo, palak aloo, sem aloo, gobhi aloo or Shimla mirch aloo ki sabji. Aloo and matar can be cooked as a curry or dry. My daughter doesn’t like vegetables like beans, methi, gobhi and brinjal. Whenever I cook them, I make sure to add some potatoes along with them. So that she can at least eat some vegetables. After all every kids or elders are potato lovers.

Aloo matar ki sabji can be cooked in two ways. If you are in hurry, you can cook this in pressure cooker. Chopped potatoes and peas are pressure cooked along with chopped tomatoes. In other way, it can be prepared in a kadhai with boiled aloo and matar along with tomato puree. Aloo matar curry has many variations. You can skip tomatoes. You can add onion and garlic. It depends on your taste and choice. If you have already boiled aloo and matar in your refrigerator, it can be cooked within minutes. Here I am sharing kadhai method of aloo matar curry recipe. It's packed with simple flavours from the tomato and spices. You can serve aloo matar curry with roti, poori or parantha in lunch or dinner.
