Aloo Gobi Matar

Aloo Gobi Matar (आलू  गोबी  मट्टर ), is an easy fix side dish, made with potatoes, cauliflower and green peas and is suitable for rotis/phulkas or rice. My family loves any version of boiled potatoes rather than the deeply roasted versions. So, I prefer to make this low cal version. With cauliflower available throughout the year in the part of the world where I live, I grab these cruciferous vegetables once in two weeks and experiment with it. While peas are my LO’s favorite and stocked always, I make this dish often for rotis/phulkas. Try this Aloo Gobi Matar and let me know your thoughts.

Instructions

1. Peel the skin of potatoes and chop them into cubes. Clean the cauliflower to small florets and immerse them in saltwater to remove dirt.
2. I used frozen green peas, so I thawed them in the microwave for a minute. Slice onion and green chili to lengthwise.
3. Heat a pan and add oil. Once hot, add fennel seeds followed by a cinnamon stick. Once it splutters, add onion and green chili. Saute till they are pinkish. Add ginger-garlic paste and fry till the raw smell goes off. Now add all the spice powders one by one.
4. Drain gobi from water and add them to the pan along with cubed potatoes. Sprinkle water and cook for 7 – 8 mins with a lid covered. Open and check the curry. It will be almost cooked. Now add thawed peas and mix thoroughly along with required salt, keeping the stove’s flame in medium. ”;}i
