Aloo Matar Mughlai

Aloo Matar Mughlai is the combination of Potatoes (Aloo) and Green peas (Matar). Mughlai is the unique type of flavorful gravy, that consist yogurt, milk and Indian spices. Peas Potato in Mughlai Gravy is my favorite north Indian delicacy and I generally make it at home either for lunch or for dinner.

My whole family enjoys this dish with plain Indian Roti and sometimes when I have everything like dal, rice, roti, Salad and papad to serve on dinning table, then I also add Aloo Matar Mughlai to complete my meal menu.

It is an ultimate dish of Potatoes and Green peas, and I have cooked it in saffron and milk based gravy. Aloo Matar is a medium dry dish, but you can add more water to get more gravy.

Yesterday my hubby wanted to eat this dish and fortunately I got a good time to take all the pictures for you. So here is the recipe of Aloo Matar Mughlai.

Chop the Potatoes in cubes, keep green peas in water and put the onion, ginger, garlic and green chillies in a chopper.
