Aloo Mutter/ Potato Peas Curry

Well, here comes another delicious and very popular North-Indian dish. Aloo Mutter is an everyday food during the season of peas. I prefer this mostly when friends are there for lunch or dinner. It is very easy to cook & full of taste. My version is bit spicy than the original one.

Ingredients:

2 large potatoes boiled, peeled
1 cup peas(fresh) boiled
1 large onion finely chopped
1 tomato finely chopped
1 tsp Ginger Garlic Paste
1 tsp Red Chilly Powder
1/4 tsp Turmeric Powder
1 tsp Coriander Powder
1 tsp Garam Masala
1 pinch each of cumin and mustard seeds
1 tbsp chopped cilantro leaves
Salt to taste
1 tbsp Oil

Method:

Chop potatoes into big pieces. Heat oil, splutter cumin and mustard seeds. Add ginger garlic paste and fry for few seconds. Add chopped onions and saute till translucent. Add tomato and cook till oil separates. Now, add all masalas and salt. Saute well. Add potatoes and peas, 1/2 cup water and bring it to boil. Allow to simmer till gravy thickens and stir occasionally (remember not to stir much as the boiled potatoes are tender and may go out of shape). Empty into a serving bowl and garnish with chopped cilantro.
Serve hot with chappatis, parathas or even steamed rice.
