Рецепт Aloo Matar Masala Recipe / Potato & Peas Masala Recipe
Here we are not big fans of green
peas....whenever I add green peas to fried rice or to some
curry hubby
very carefully removes the peas from his portion
and keeps it
nicely in a cornerof his plate:D... so I usually do not
add peas to any curries / rice I make....but recently when I saw this recipe
neatly written in my first recipe collection book I remembered how much I loved
this curry when amma used to make it at
home.... so I grabbed a packet of frozen peas and made this curry for myself.... surprisingly hubby who dislike peas liked this curry and told me not bad and
it’s ok to have once in a while :).... This spicy curry goes very well with all kinds of Indian flat bread, flavored
basmati rice or even with bread or Indian pav bun.
