Thing To Remember
While making this dish, one thing that we need to keep in mind is that fresh green peas & potatoes take a longer time to cook than cauliflower florets. Hence we add the fresh green peas & potatoes first till they are half cooked and then add the cauliflower florets.
In case you are using frozen green peas, you can add them along with the cauliflower florets.

lngredients
Gobi / Cauliflower – We will need 2 cups of cauliflower. Cut the cauliflower florets, wash them a couple of times and immerse them in salted water for 10-15 minutes to get rid of worms if any.
You can also blanch the florets by adding salt and turmeric powder for about 5 to 7 minutes.
Green Peas – I have added fresh green peas to make this curry. You can also use frozen peas for this recipe.
Potatoes – Chop potatoes into cubes and immerse them in salty water to stop oxidation.
Other Vegetables – We are going to use a cup of finely chopped onions and half a cup of finely chopped tomatoes. This is the base for our gravy.
Spices & Herbs – To give a nice depth of flavour to this gobi matar masala sabji, we will need a teaspoon of roughly crushed ginger-garlic and some powdered species like red chilli powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder and garam masala powder.
We will also add amchur powder (raw mango powder) in the end to give a slight tangy taste to this gobi matar masala. You can totally skip adding amchur powder if you do not have it.
We will also need finely chopped coriander leaves (cilantro) to garnish the sabji.
Seasoning – We will need salt to taste and a teaspoon of sugar to balance the tartness of tomatoes.
Water – This is a semi-dry masala sabji. We will require water to cook the vegetables. You can also use vegetable stock instead of plain water.
Oil – To make this gobi matar masala, we will require 2 tablespoons of oil.
Serving Suggestions
This Aloo Gobi Matar Masala is best served with roti, phulka, tawa paratha or with jeera rice, and pulao (pilaf).
Storage Options
This gobi matar masala stays good for 4-5 days in the refrigerator. Reheat before serving.
