Servings: 6 servings
Calories: 130kcal
Equipment
- Saucepan
Ingredients
- ½ teaspoon avocado oil or any neutral oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1.5 cups basic tomato onion sauce
- 1.5 pounds potatoes (about 5-6 medium, cut in a small dice)
- 12 oz green peas (about 2 cups, fresh or frozen both work)
- 2 tablespoon cilantro (finely chopped)
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Start out by heating the vegetable oil in a saucepan. Add cumin seeds and when they start to darken, add the basic tomato onion sauce. Stir well, and let the sauce come to a boil.
- Add the potatoes and, if you're using fresh green peas, add them at this time. Add 2 cups of water. Once the potatoes are cooked, and if you're using frozen green peas, add at this time.
- Let the sauce return to a boil. If at any time the sauce appears too thick, add some water. You don't want your aloo matar to be extremely saucy, but it should have enough sauce that you can scoop it up with a roti or naan.
- Add salt and turn off the heat. Garnish with cilantro and serve.
