Namaskar Welcome to nishamadhulika.com
Today we are making matar aloo sabzi which is relished by all.
We often include this sabzi in our meals as it can be cooked easily and quickly.
Let’s start with the procedure of making Potato-peas sabzi.
For making the sabzi let us prepare a tomato paste.
We have used 2 tomatoes, 2 green chilies and 1 inch ginger piece.
We have to grind them finely.
So, we already have the paste ready.
Preheat a pan now.
Then heat 2 tbsp oil in the pan.
Now add ½ tsp cumin seeds, 1 pinch asafoetida and reduce the flame so that the spices don’t burn.
Then add ½ tsp turmeric powder, 1 tsp coriander powder and tomato-green chilly-ginger paste.
Also add ¼ tsp red chilly powder.
If you prefer eating spicy sabzi then increase the use of red chilly powder and if you like having less spicy sabzi then use green chilies and ginger only.
Now sauté the masala until oil starts separating from it.
When you see the oil, leaving the sides of masala add green peas into it.
We have taken 1 cup green peas.
Mix well.
Cover and let in simmer of low flame for 2 to 3 minutes.
Meanwhile, let us peel the potatoes.
We are using four boiled potatoes, peel them.
Check the peas after 3 minutes are over.
To check, press them with a finger to check if soft.
Now we will mix potatoes into it.
Crumble the potatoes roughly and mix to the masala.
Mix them thoroughly and increase the flame.
Stir and keep stirring for a minute or so.
If you wish to make dry potato-peas sabzi then add salt, garam masala and some coriander to the sabzi at this point and let it cook for a minute or so.
And the dry potato-peas sabzi will be ready.
But we are making this sabzi with gravy.
So, add some water to the sabzi as per your desire.
If you like to have sabzi with thick gravy then add less water and if you wish to have sabzi with thin gravy then add less water.
We have added 1 cup water in the sabzi so we will get sabzi with quite thick gravy.
Add more than 1 tsp salt or to taste, ¼ tsp garam masala and 1 tbsp chopped coriander.
Mix well and let the sabzi simmer for 3 to 4 minutes.
Cover with a lid.
Sabzi is now ready and really fragrant, transfer it to another bowl.
Mouth watering potato-peas sabzi is ready, garnish with some coriander sprigs.
To enhance the flavor of sabzi add 1 tsp ghee to it.
Serve this steaming hot with chapatti, parantha, poori or rice.
This much quantity of sabzi is sufficient for 3 to 4 members.
