    Recipe: Aloo Matar (spiced indian potato and pea curry)

    October 02, 2014

    Recipe: Aloo Matar (spiced indian potato and pea curry)

    This recipe hails from the North of India, but is extremely popular all over because of the simple and fresh ingredients used. Some households prefer a dryer texture, in which case omit the tomato and don’t make into a paste. This recipe is commonly enjoyed with Indian Basmati rice, poori and chapatis (roti).
