Aloo Matar Recipe

Indian · Main course · 45 min total

A classic North Indian comfort dish of potatoes and peas simmered in a spiced onion-tomato gravy, perfect with roti or rice.

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1 large onion, finely chopped
• 2 teaspoons ginger-garlic paste
• 2 medium tomatoes, pureed
• 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon coriander powder
• 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
• Salt to taste
• 3 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed (about 1.5 cups)
• 1 cup frozen peas, thawed
• 1/2 cup water
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions

1. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle.
2. Add chopped onion and sauté until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add ginger-garlic paste and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Add tomato puree, turmeric, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt. Cook until oil separates, about 5 minutes.
5. Add potatoes and mix well. Cook for 2 minutes.
6. Add water, cover, and simmer on low heat until potatoes are almost tender, about 10-12 minutes.
7. Add peas and garam masala. Cook uncovered for 5 more minutes until gravy thickens and potatoes are fully cooked.
8. Garnish with cilantro and serve hot.

Tips

• For a richer gravy, add 2 tablespoons of cream or butter at the end.
• This dish tastes even better the next day as flavors meld.
• Serve with naan, roti, or steamed basmati rice.
