Aloo Matar (Potato and green peas) is basically a famous punjabi dish made with potatoes and green peas in a thick tomato puree/paste and spices . It is a vegetarian dish. Aloo Matar is a spicy curry. The gravy is made thick and comparatively less water is added. This is easiest recipe, very simple and quickly made dish. Aloo matar is combined well with Roti, Naan, Puri, Rice, Jeera Rice etc. These all are my personal favourite combinations.
