Aloo Matar sabzi is a Punjabi dish
from the Indian subcontinent which is made from potatoes (Aloo) and peas
(matter) in a spiced tomato-based sauce. this is an easy tasty, spiced
vegetarian dish
There are many versions of making aloo matar sabzi, I prepared this delicious
recipe with my style addition of fresh soya leaves to give it to aromatic and
flavoured taste, soya leaves are an aromatic veggie that is used to bring a
taste to the meal
This ALOO MATAR is a simple veg curry made of potatoes and fresh/frozen peas in a spicy onion tomato gravy. usually, this sabzi is made during winter due to seasonal vegetables like soya, peas or new potatoes, but not any restrictions that couldn’t make in summer thus you should have good quality canned peas/frozen peas and potatoes.
The speciality of this sabzi is cooked in mustard oil and added fresh
soya leaves to give earthly flavour if you don’t have available soya then do not worry can be used fresh coriander leaves. but I will never recommend
skipping mustard oil. as I mentioned above speciality of this sabzi. so try to
cook in this oil. If you don’t like the taste of mustard oil then can be replaced
using olive oil
Chunks of aloo and matar are cooked in a simple but packed flavour
spice base. Great to eat along with Garma Garm roti or along with some hot
dal-chawal.
This is one very simple beginner recipe that isn’t hard at all. there are very few peas dishes that are usually

Recipe Notes:
Potatoes: to make this sabzi use
fresh potatoes instead of stored aloo in your vegetable box since this sabzi
contain only fresh ingredients.
Peas: can be used fresh/frozen
peas in this recipe, but keep remembering peas shouldn’t be stale otherwise ur
sabzi taste won’t be good
Mustard
oil: traditionally
this aloo matar sabzi is cooked in mustard oil but if you don’t like the taste
of the oil so here you can use olive/corn oil to maintain the taste of this sabzi
Spices: very
few spices are added in aloo matar curry, but if you like more spicy so can
adjust the spice level as per your taste
Veggies: I just used fresh
potatoes, tomatoes and frozen peas. when you go to buy veggies carefully choose
the tasteless potato. it should not be sweet otherwise your curry taste becomes
bad.
