Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 15

250 grams potatoes ((3 medium potatoes, cubed to 1 inch))
½ to ¾ cup green peas ((fresh or frozen))
100 grams onions ((¾ cup, chopped finely, 1 large))
200 grams tomatoes ((1 cup chopped or pureed, 3 medium))
2 tablespoons oil
1 green chili ( slit or chopped)
½ to ¾ teaspoon cumin seeds ((Jeera))
1 tablespoon ginger garlic paste ((or ¾ tbsp fine chopped each))
1 teaspoon coriander powder ((ground coriander seeds))
¾ teaspoon red chilli powder ((adjust to taste))
½ to ¾ teaspoon garam masala
½ to ¾ teaspoon salt ( or as needed)
¼ teaspoon turmeric
½ to 1 teaspoon kasuri methi ((dried fenugreek leaves) (skip if you do not have))
3 tablespoon coriander leaves (chopped finely)

Steps:

  • Wash and chop onions and tomatoes. Puree tomatoes if you do not like them chopped.
  • Also wash and peel potatoes. Cube them to 1 inch pieces. Keep them immersed in water until used.
  • Heat oil in a cooker, pan or kadai. Saute cumin till they begin to crackle.
  • Add chopped onions, green chili and fry until lightly golden or pink.
  • Next put in the ginger garlic paste and saute until the raw smell disappears.
  • Add tomato puree and saute for 2 mins.
  • Next add chili powder, garam masala, coriander powder, turmeric and salt.
  • Saute until oil begins to separate from the masala.
  • Add potatoes and peas. Saute for 2 mins.
  • Add water just enough to cover the potatoes. Cook covered on a low to medium heat.
  • Stir in between a few times, cook until the potatoes turn soft. You can adjust the consistency by adding more water as needed.
  • If making in pressure cooker then, allow to whistle twice on a medium heat.
  • Add kasuri methi and mix well. Adjust salt if needed.
  • Serve aloo matar with rice or roti.
  • Chop the potatoes to 1 inch pieces. Press saute button on the instant pot and pour oil to the steel insert.
  • When the oil turns hot, add cumin seeds. As soon as they begin to splutter, add chopped onions and saute until light golden.
  • Then stir in the ginger garlic and saute for 30 to 60 seconds. Then add tomato puree and mix well.
  • Add all the spice powders - red chilli powder, turmeric, garam masala, coriander powder and salt.
  • Saute for a few minutes until the masala smells aromatic. (For a more authentic version you may saute this till the masala turns thick and aromatic. For this you have to switch over to saute low and saute.)
  • Then pour 1 cup of water for 2 cups of cubed potatoes. After pouring water scrape the bottom of the steel insert with a spatula to deglaze. Add peas. (If using frozen peas that are too tender, add them later once the curry is done. Simmer for a few minutes.)
  • Secure the Instant pot lid with the steam release handle set to sealing.
  • Press pressure cook button (high pressure) & set the timer to 4 minutes. When the IP is done, do a quick release by moving the steam release valve from sealing to venting.
  • Add kasuri methi. Stir and taste test. Add more garam masala and salt if you prefer. For a thicker consistency you can also cook it on a saute mode for 1 minute.
  • Garnish aloo matar with coriander leaves. Serve aloo matar with rice or roti.
