Aloo mutter


Aloo mutter sabzi/Aloo matar masala/Potato peas gravy is a delicious gravy that goes well Roti, Paratha and Rice varieties.

Aloo/Potato and mutter/Green peas makes a wonderful combo and both are favourite for many of us. For this Aloo mutter sabzi, I have used baby potatoes as it is more appealing than the regular ones. If you don't get the baby ones, you can replace by regular ones but by chopping them as big cubes.

Tips:

1) As I suggested earlier, instead of baby potatos you can use the normal ones too. Pressure cook them and peel the skin. Chop them as big cubes and shallow fry in oil.

2) If your green peas are very tender you can add them to hot water and leave it for few minutes. This is enough and no need to boil. If they are matured then you can even leave a quick whistle in pressure cooker. But care needs to be taken so that they don't turn mushy and loses their shape.
