Main Ingredients

2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed

1 cup RK Green Peas

1 medium onion, finely chopped

2 medium tomatoes, finely chopped

2 green chilies, slit lengthwise

1 teaspoon ginger-garlic paste

1 teaspoon RK Cumin Seeds

1/2 teaspoon RK Turmeric Powder

1 teaspoon RK Coriander Powder

1/2 teaspoon RK Red Chili Powder (adjust to taste)

1/2 teaspoon RK Garam Masala

RK Salt, to taste

2 tablespoons oil

Fresh cilantro (coriander leaves), for garnish

Directions

1. Heat oil in a pan or kadai over medium heat.

2. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.

3. Add the chopped onions and green chilies. Saute until the onions turn golden brown.

4. Add the ginger-garlic paste and sauté for a minute until the raw smell disappears.

5. Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they become soft and mushy.

6. Add turmeric powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well and cook for a couple of minutes until the spices are well combined.

7. Add the cubed potatoes and soaked green peas to the pan. Mix well to coat them with the spice mixture.

8. Add a little water (about 1/4 cup) and cover the pan. Cook for about 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and cooked through. Stir occasionally and add more water if needed to prevent sticking.

9. Once the potatoes and peas are cooked, add garam masala and mix well.

10. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

11. Remove from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro leaves.

12. Serve hot Aloo Matar with roti, naan, or rice.
