Ingredients
- 14.11 ounces new potatoes.
- 1 ⅓ cup green peas see the note.
- 1 tablespoon ginger garlic paste see the note.
- ½ teaspoon whole cumin.
- ¼ teaspoon black mustard seeds.
- ½ teaspoon dried chilli flakes.
- ¼ teaspoon paprika powder.
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin.
- ½ teaspoon ground coriander.
- ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder.
- ¾ teaspoon salt.
- ½ cup canned tomatoes.
- fresh coriander leaves for garnish chopped (optional).
- 3 tablespoons cooking oil.
Instructions
- Scrub and wash the potatoes. And cut them into small pieces roughly ½ inch square with ¼ inch thickness. Soak the potatoes in plenty of water and set them aside.
- Heat the oil in a cooking pan and put the whole cumin and black mustard seeds.
- Cook the spices for a few minutes until the seeds are crackling. Then add in ginger-garlic paste, salt and the rest of the spices. Fry further until they release the aroma.
- Next, drain the potatoes and add them to the spice mixture. Give it a good stir and cook at medium-high heat for about 5 minutes as you stir every now and again.
- Then add in the green peas followed by the tomatoes. Stir well and leave it to cook with the lid on.
- Check and stir the potatoes every so often to prevent burning at the bottom of the pan. You can add ¼ cup of water if you find the curry dry too quickly.
- Continue cooking and stirring for about 15 minutes until your aloo matar is slightly dry with oil separated from the edges.
- Serve your potato and green peas curry garnished with coriander leaves.
Notes
- You can use fresh green peas from the pods.
- If tinned tomatoes are not available, you can replace them with fresh tomatoes. Just chop them into small pieces. For this recipe, you only need 2 small tomatoes or 1 medium tomato.
- Dried chilli flakes can be substituted with red chilli powder. Feel free to adjust the amount according to your taste.
- Potatoes soak a lot of water. Use your judgement whether or not you need to add more water than it says in this recipe. Though ¼ cup has almost always been sufficient for this recipe.
- For ginger garlic paste, mince and pound ½ inch ginger with 4 garlic cloves into a paste.
