# 5: Aloo-Mattar Gravy

:-D                                      Right now i have the biggest smile on my face!!! 

The reason being, My friends know me to be one person they have known who is so madly in love with potatoes that i can possibly eat various dishes of potatoes for all 3 meals...and not to forget snack on them as well!!! ;)

Well, that's true to the extent that i do love potatoes..They are the easiest to cook and get done with..and also pretty appetizing! ;) Anyways, it been over a year I stopped my potato glutton and shed a few pounds too.. :) "blush"

Getting back to the recipe... Aloo mattar gravy is one recipe i saw a family friend make and found it yummy! (considering i loved only potato fry..and any another form of potato given to me would instantly find a "not so appetizing" look on my face! )


 Ingredients:
  1. Potatoes - 2 to 3
  2. Peas - 1.5 Cups
  3. Onions - 1 (Chopped)
  4. Tomatoes - 3 (chopped)
  5. Green Chilli - 1 (Slit into half)
  6. Coriander leaves- ( a handful, chopped & for garnishing )
  7. Ginger Garlic paste - 1 Tsp
  8. Garam masala powder- 1 tsp
  9. Amchur Powder - 1 tsp
  10. Red Chilli Powder - 1.5 tsp
  11. Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp
  12. Jeera powder - 1/2 tsp
  13. Salt  ( to taste)
  14. Oil
Procedure:

Grind the tomatoes, onions, & green chilli together in to a puree. Now add oil in a bowl and add the ginger garlic paste. Fry for a while. Now add the puree to the ginger garlic paste and let it cook for a while. Add potatoes (in case they are not boiled, so that it can cook along with the puree). Cook the 2 together till the raw taste does not disappear.Add salt as well.
 
Now add the peas. After a while add red chilli powder, turmeric powder, & jeera powder. Let them all cook. Later, add the amchur powder and garam masala and mix well. You can let the gravy thicken by cooking it a little longer or leave it as is.

Garnish with finely chopped coriander leaves!

Ta da!!!
