• Then pour 1 cup of water for 2 cups of cubed potatoes. After pouring water scrape the bottom of the steel insert with a spatula to deglaze. Add peas. (If using frozen peas that are too tender, add them later once the curry is done. Simmer for a few minutes.)

ALOO MATAR SABZI RECIPE - POTATOES PEAS IN TOMATO GRAVY

Steps:

• To begin making the Aloo Matar Sabzi Recipe, prep all the ingredients and keep aside.
• Heat a tablespoon of ghee or oil in a pressure cooker; add in the cumin seeds and allow it to crackle. Once the cumin seeds crackle add in the onions and ginger and saute on low heat until the onions soften.
• Once the onions soften, add the tomato puree, green chillies and cook the tomatoes for two to three minutes.
• Once the tomatoes have softened add turmeric powder, garam masala powder, salt and chilli powder and stir well. Add the chopped and peeled potatoes into the pressure cooker. Add 1/2 a cup of water.
• Cover the pressure cooker and allow the Aloo Matar Sabzi to cook for 3 to 4 whistles and turn off the heat.
• Allow the pressure to release naturally, as the potatoes will continue to cook as long as there is pressure inside the cooker.
• Once the pressure has released, open the cooker and give the Aloo Matar Sabzi a stir. Adjust the consistency of the sabzi, by adding little water if required and post that check the salt and spices and adjust according to taste.
• Finally stir in the green peas and give the Aloo Matar Sabzi a brisk boil and turn off the heat.
• Transfer the Aloo Matar Sabzi to a serving bowl , stir in the chopped coriander leaves and serve hot.
• Serve the Aloo Mutter Sabzi along with steamed rice, parathas, phulka's or naan's for a perfect weeknight dinner.
