Aloo Matar Gravy is a simple and easy North Indian Punjabi cuisine prepared from two main ingredients, Potatoes and Peas along with Tomato Onion paste and other spices. Aloo Matar ki Sabzi is prepared in two forms. One is the dry version of Aloo Matar and the other is the gravy version.  Today I am going to share the second version of the recipe that is the gravy version. I have already shared the dry version of Aloo Matar in my previous posts. Please visit Aloo Matar Masala to prepare the dry form of the recipe.

We can prepare the delicious Aloo Matar Gravy from either frozen peas or fresh peas. Here we will be preparing Aloo Matar Gravy from fresh peas. I usually prefer using fresh peas. Gravy is made from Tomato and Onion. To prepare this recipe, you can make the gravy by either using the paste of tomato and onion or by using the tomato and onion by chopping them. Here I will be using Chopped Onion and Tomatoes Puree to prepare the gravy.

To prepare Aloo Matar Gravy, I will be using pressure cooker since it makes the process fast and easy. However you can prepare it in an open pot also. It will take more time than pressure cooker. To prepare the recipe, firstly fry the Onion. Then add the Tomato paste and cook till oil starts coming out of the edges of the kadai or pan. Add all the spices and cook for few minutes more. Next add the potatoes and peas, mix them so that the spices coat them properly. At last add water as needed and cook for two whistles. Aloo Matar Gravy is ready to be served. Serve with Roti, Poori, Paranthas, Naan or any Rice Recipes by garnishing with Coriander Leaves.

Our other Matar (Peas) recipes are Matar Pulao, Matar Paneer, Matar Mushroom, etc.

Notes:

1. Preparing Aloo Matar ki Sabzi in kadai or pan takes more time. If you want to prepare in less time, make it in a pressure cooker.
2. If the gravy of Aloo Matar is thin, you can thicken it by simmering it for few more minutes. Also you can slightly mash the potatoes to make the gravy thick.
3. To prepare delicious and tasty Aloo Matar ki Sabzi, use fresh Peas and not stored one.
4. Aloo Matar gravy can be prepared by using completely chopped Onion and Tomatoes or by using the paste of Tomato and Onions.
