Aloo Matar Recipe

Aloo Matar is a simple Punjabi style gravy that serves as a great sidedish for roti and pulao. I clicked this gravy a while back and totally forgot about it and I realised it only when one my reader asked about it as I had put it on the coming up next section then I changed my mind and posted some other recipe.

I have made this gravy quite a few times now after that and we love the gravy with soft piping hot phulkas.The recipe is a modified version of my aloo gobi that I posted a while back. Quick lunch ready with Phulka,Aloo Mutter Masala, Masala Chaas and Jamuns for dessert 🙂

So now without any delays let us get on to learn how to make aloo matar gravy….Shall we?!

Aloo Mutter Masala

My Notes:

  • Cooking the veggie along with the gravy takes a little more time but adds more flavour to the veggie and gravy too.You can do this in pan too.
  • I added cream just for making the gravy creamy, you can even skip it.
  • Adding tomato sauce gives a nice tanginess to the gravy.
  • I used fresh green peas…you can use frozen or even try with dried variety.But soak dry peas overnight , then add it.

    Hi,

    Is this gravy slightly watery than the usual gravies? Wonder whether all Punjabi gravies are a bit on the watery side..
