Karusi Aloo Matar


It's a long weekend, thoda indulge toh banta hain yaar!

Enjoyed legendary aloo matar with the added twist of kasuri methi.....hence named 'Kasuri Aloo Matar' :) 

Can be made in no time & yeah its finger licking good.....a must try! 

Best eaten with garma garam poori or paratha.  

Ingredients 

  • 2 boiled aloo / potato
  • 1 cup matar / green peas
  • 1 big onion
  • 1 big tomato
  • 2 tbsp Kasuri Methi (dry roasted or microwave it for 30-40 Sec. Yes, it's important, gives the additional crisp flavor)
  • 3 tbsp oil 
  • 1 tsp red chili powder
  • 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1 tsp coriander powder
  • 1/2 tsp cumin powder
  • 1 tbsp ginger garlic paste 
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 cup water
Method
  • Heat oil in a vessel/kadai, add onion & saute it till translucent  
  • Add ginger + garlic paste, saute
  • Add dry masale, saute & add chopped tomatoes & green peas. 
  • After the tomatoes are cooked, add boiled potatoes. I don't chop it with a knife, but just roughly with hands. Mix everything well.
  • Now add water, mix it & bring it to boil. Once it starts to boil, reduce heat to low medium flame for 10 min.  
  • Add dry roasted Kasuri Methi, by crushing between palms. Mix well switch off the flame.
