Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 large potatoes, raw, cut into cubes (aloo)
1 cup peas (matar)
1/2 cup paneer cheese (optional)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 medium onions, chopped
1 inch fresh ginger, peeled and minced
4 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
1 green chili pepper, minced (adjust for preference on spiciness)
2 tomatoes, chopped
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon red chili powder
2 teaspoons garam masala
1 cup water
2 tablespoons cilantro (to garnish, coriander)

Steps:

  • Heat oil in pressure cooker if you have one. If not, any pot/pan will do.
  • Add onions and stir constantly until slightly brown.
  • Add garlic and ginger to onions and stir constantly until mixture is brown.
  • Add tomatoes and green chili to mixture and stir constantly for 3-5 minutes (if you find the mixture sticking to the pan, add a few tablespoons of water).
  • Add salt, turmeric, black pepper, paprika, red chili, and garam masala, stir for 30 seconds.
  • Add potatoes and peas (and paneer, if using) and stir for 2 minutes.
  • Add cup of water and stir until water mixed in
  • Close pressure cooker and cook for 1 whistle, take off burner, release pressure (or cover pot/pan and cook for 10-15 minutes (until potatoes cooked), stirring occasionally to prevent food from sticking to bottom of pot/pan).
  • Garnish with cilantro (coriander).
  • Serve hot with basmati rice or roti and cucumber raita. Enjoy!

This was a great recipe! I used tofu instead of paneer and it turned out really well. The sauce was flavorful and the vegetables were cooked perfectly.

I've made this dish several times now and it always turns out great. It's so easy to make and the ingredients are all things I usually have on hand. I love that it's a vegetarian dish that's still full of flavor.

This dish was absolutely delicious! I made it for my family last night and they loved it. The flavors were perfect and the paneer was so soft and creamy. I will definitely be making this again soon.
