Receta Aloo Matar (Potatoes and Peas) #Vegan
The mix of the damp and cold weather inspired me to make this dish.I love dry stir fried veggies with parathas or puri during this kind of weather.Its a cozy weeknight meal that just screams comfort.I love the crusty layer that the potatoes develop during the cooking process and the peas add their wonderful vibrant color.Its a simple dish that comes together quickly and is a favorite of my kids too!
This is a dry version of Aloo Matar that is a tad different from the usual.I boil the potatoes first and then fry them in some aromatic spices like cumin,coriander, turmeric ,chili and amchur (dry mango powder).Amchur is is basically powdered green mango and adds this wonderful citrusy tangy flavor to the dish.Its easily available at your local Indian grocers.Enjoy!
