Aloo Mutter Ingredients
  • Onion, red 1/2 medium
  • Tomatoes 1/2, 14.5 oz can diced
or 2 medium
  • Peas, frozen 1 cup
  • Potato, red 1 lb. about 3 medium
  • Water 1 cup or as needed

  • Red chili powder 1/4 tsp
  • Turmeric 1/4 tsp
  • Garam Masala 1/2 tsp
  • Salt 1 tsp
  • Cilantro, chopped 2 Tbsp
    Reverse Columns

Directions:

  1. Wash, peel and cut the potatoes into 1 inch cubes. Dice the onions and tomatoes.
  2. Heat 2 Tbsp oil to a medium heat (4) in a 2 qt saucepan. When hot (but not smoking), add the cumin seeds. They will crack in a few seconds. Add in the onion and sauté until translucent.
  3. Add in the diced tomato (with juice) and spices except for the garam masala. Sauté for about 10 minutes until the tomatoes are softened.
  4. Add in the peas, water and potato. Heat to boiling then reduce the heat (3), cover and simmer until done, about 20 minutes. Uncover and mash a few of the potato chunks against the side of the pan and stir in. This will thicken the sauce.
  5. Add or boil off water as needed so that there is a thick sauce around the vegetables.
  6. In the last few minutes, stir in the garam masala and cilantro.

Notes:
Serve with brown basmati rice or chapatti/roti/nan.

This recipe is simplified for ease of preparing. Even though a few spices are eliminated (asafetida, coriander, ginger) it still remains a tasty side dish. The main entrée dish, perhaps a paneer curry can have the full array of spices. Optionally, a squeeze of lemon or 1 tsp of amchoor can be added when done to give a little tart flavor.
