Aloo matar is a punjabi authentic curry which is widely served with roti and rice.It is a traditional curry where aloo and green peas are combined together and made like a curry. It uses onion tomato gravy as the main base to get a silky smooth curry. Other aloo recipes that can be tried from my blog are aloo sabzi.
