Matar Ki Subzi | Peas Curry Recipe
Matar Ki Subzi is a classic North Indian dish made with green peas simmered in a tomato-based sauce. The sauce is made with a blend of spices, including cumin, coriander, and turmeric, that are first sautéed in oil to release their aromatic flavors. The tomato-spice mixture is then simmered with the green peas until tender and fully flavored. The dish is usually finished with a sprinkle of garam masala, which adds depth and warmth to the dish. Matar Ki Subzi is a staple in North Indian households and is typically served with roti or rice.
