Let us start cooking!!!

Ingredients:
Potatoes (aloo): 2 (250 gms, peeled and cut into pieces)
Green peas (matar): 1/2 cup
Onions: 1 big (100 gms, thinly sliced)
Curd: 2 tbsp
Ghee: 2 tbsp
Turmeric powder (Haldi): 1/4 Tsp
Salt as per taste
For the chili powder masala
Dry Red Chilies: 2
Coriander seeds: 1 tbsp
Ginger (adrak): a small piece (chopped)
Garlic: 2 cloves (chopped)
Cloves (laung/lavang): 2
Green Cardamom (elaichi): 1 (peeled)

Method:
1. Dry roast the ingredients under ‘for the chili powder masala’. Cool and grind into a coarse powder.

2. Boil the green peas with salt and a pinch of sugar. Sugar helps in retaining the green color of it.
3. Heat 1 tbsp ghee in a pan and sauté the sliced onions until brown. Let it cool and then grind into a smooth paste.

4. Heat the remaining ghee in the same pan. Add the onion paste and the red chili powder masala. Cook for about 2-3 minutes stirring continuously as the masalas tend to burn fast.

5. Whisk the curd and add it to the pan. Stir continuously until a boil comes. Now add turmeric powder and salt. Cook for other 4-5 minutes.

6. Now add the potatoes and mix well. Add water and mix well. Cover it and let cook for about 15-17 minutes or until the potatoes are done.

7. Now add the green peas and mix well.

8. Garnish with coriander leaves and serve hot with roti, paratha, naan etc.
9. Yummy “Mughlai Aloo Matar Sabji” is ready!

Tips:
1. The quantity of water can be adjusted as per one’s need.
2. This veggie is a bit spicy. Hence, the quantity of dried red chili can be reduced.
3. Make sure the potatoes are cooked well.
