Aloo Mattar Gravy ( Potato and Green Peas Gravy)

Aloo Mattar is a famous  North Indian dish that goes very well with rotis, paranthas and rice. It adds a zing to the meal, a recipe not too hard to prepare, this is a must-try for anyone. Since all ingredients for this recipe are easily available, it is an easy to rustle-up recipe. I guess this is one of my favourite ‘pots of curries’.

The preparation of this dish sometimes varies in every home; this is the way I prepare the Aloo-Mattar Gravy. Hope you will enjoy it!
