Matar Tamatar Sabji | Green Peas & Tomato Curry

Matar Tamatar Sabji | Green Peas & Tomato Curry.

My mom’s recipe and a personal forever favourite for a lot of reasons. This is delicious, can be made in less than 20 mins and is made with seasonal fresh green peas. Now that the green peas are in season, this would be made at least once a week for lunch or dinner. Combine this with soft ghee laden phulkas/chapatis and bowl of raita and the meal is sorted.

How to make this?

In a pressure cooker, heat 2 tbsps oil. Add 1 tsp cumin seeds, 1 tsp black mustard seeds, 1/4 tsp hing (asafoetida) and let the hing bloom. Add 1 tbsp crushed green chillies and ginger. Sauté for a minute. Add 1/3 cup (about 2 large) chopped tomatoes and cook it until the tomatoes turn mushy. Mix in salt to taste, 1/2 tsp turmeric powder, 1 tsp red chilli powder, 1 tsp coarse coriander powder and 3/4 tsp sugar.

Add in 1 cup fresh green peas and mix well. Pour in 1.5 cups water, close the lid and pressure cook to upto 3 whistles. Switch off the flame and let the steam release naturally. Mix in 1/2 tsp garam masala and garnish with coriander leaves.

Enjoy!!!

Leftover stays great in the refrigerator for upto 4-5 days.
