About Aloo Gobi Matar Sabzi
Aloo Gobi Matar is a simple, quick and easy-to-make vegetable curry that does not require a lot of pre-preparation beforehand.
This simple and delicious vegetable makes a perfect weeknight dinner menu and is the best option to pack for a lunch box.
This aloo gobi matar sabji is cooked in an aromatic onion tomato base. This is such a popular Indian curry that you will often find it on every restaurant menu as well as on roadside dhabas!
This aloo gobi matar masala tastes best when cooked semi-dry but you can keep it dry too or make it into a gravy as per your choice.
Making this recipe is so easy that I often include it for our quick hassle-free week-night dinner. This is a common day-to-day dish that is mostly on our weekly menu.
Apart from making this gobi matar masala, we also often make Aloo Gobi Ka Partha, Maharashtrian Style Aloo Gobi Sabzi (Flower-Batata) and Restaurant Style Aloo Gobi Masala.
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 thanย cauliflower florets. Hence we add the fresh green peas & potatoes first till they are half cooked and then add theย cauliflower florets.
In case you are using frozen green peas, you can add them along with the cauliflower florets.

ingredients
Gobi / Cauliflower โ 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 โ I have added fresh green peas to make this curry. You can also use frozen peas for this recipe.
Potatoes โ Chop potatoes into cubes and immerse them in salty water to stop oxidation.
Other Vegetables โ 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 โ 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) at the end to give this gobi matar masala a slightly tangy taste. 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 โ We will need salt to taste and a teaspoon of sugar to balance the tartness of tomatoes.
Water โ 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 โ To make this gobi matar masala, we will require 2 tablespoons of oil.
