    Matar ki sabzi recipe - Quick, healthy side dish that can be made on regular basis. This green peas sabzi goes perfect with roti, paratha.

    Matar ki sabzi recipe

    When it comes to the curry or sabzi, I end up using matar combined with other vegetables like aloo matar, mushroom matar, methi matar malai etc.

    But many times, I am out of vegetables. So that time I make this matar ki sabzi. Because I always have the bag of frozen peas in freezer.

    Other than peas, tomatoes are used here. This makes slight gravy or I would say it makes semi-dry sabzi.

    At the end yogurt is added which adds slight tang. This flavor blends well with the sweetness of peas.

    There is no onion no garlic added in the recipe. If making this dish Jain, please skip ginger.

    How to make matar ki sabzi?

    1) Heath the oil in a pan on medium heat. Once hot add mustard seeds and let them pop.

    2) Then add cumin seeds, let them sizzle.

    add mustard seeds and cumin seeds in hot oil

    3) Now add ginger paste and green chilies.

    4) Mix and saute for 30-40 seconds or till the raw smell of ginger goes away.

    5) Now add tomatoes and mix.

    6) Cook till tomatoes are soft and almost mushy.

    13) Lower the heat and then add yogurt.

    14) Immediately stir otherwise yogurt may get curdled. Let it come to a simmer.

      Surprisingly good!

      I didn't have one of the spices and mistakenly put 1 1/2 cups water instead of 1/2 cup...
      Nonetheless, it was still delicious! Since I had to drain out most of the excess water (and spices) I added some garam masala at the end.

      I'll be bookmarking this website!5 stars
