Dhaba Style Aloo Matar recipe| Aloo Matar recipe

Aloo Matar

Dhaba style Aloo Matar is a popular Indian Veg preparation and an interesting variation to usual Aloo Matar gravy preparation. Aloo Matar veg gravy is a staple at my home especially during winters when Hare Matar (green peas) are available in abundance.

If you love Green Peas, then we have some delicious Green peas preparations for you.

Aloo Matar

This gravy can also be prepared using frozen green peas, however the inherent sweetness of fresh green peas makes this dish such a favorite at my home. What makes this dish a hugely favored option at my home is that it is so easy and quick to prepare. It can be relished with Roti, Parathas and with simple plain steamed rice.

Aloo Matar

Dhaba Style Aloo Matar is a rich Indian gravy preparation with a base of Onion-Tomato. This masala is then spiced and flavored with several Indian spices.

Make this rich Indian gravy preparation and share your feedback with us.

  3. Onions become light brown in color in about 8-10 mins on medium heat. Add Turmeric Powder and give a quick mix. Now add Ginger-Garlic Paste and cook on medium heat.
  4. Add Coriander leaves, chopped tomatoes and cook on high heat for a min.
  5. We will cook tomatoes covered on low heat until it becomes soft and mushy. To quicken the process of softening of tomatoes, add some salt. Mix well and cook covered
  6. Uncover after 6 mins
  7. Mash with back of a ladle Add red chili powder, dry coriander powder. Bhunao the ingredients on medium heat. Add some water to prevent masala from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Keep alternating between stiring and mashing .
  8. After 4-5 mins of Bhunao, Oil begins to ooze out from the masala. Now add Green Peas and pinch of Sugar (check related tip below) and mix well.
  9. Now add fried Potatoes. Make sure you don't break potatoes due to agressive stiring.

  11. Allow gravy to boil on medium heat.
  12. Add salt, garam masala powder and coriander leaves and mix well.

  14. Now add dried fenugreek leaves (Kasuri Methi). Roast and then roughly crush between your palms. Give a final stir and then switch off the heat
  15. Serve Aloo Matar with Paratha, roti, steamed rice or Soft rolls
  16. Tip: Adding Sugar in green veg preparations serves 2 purposes 1) adds to the flavor of th dish and 2) green veggies retain its color
