Aloo gajar matar recipe | Potato carrot peas sabzi recipe
Have some leftover potato, carrot, green peas in hand and
wondering what to make with? Here is the flavorful veg combo sabzi
for you, which goes well with boiled rice, Indian flatbreads like
roti, and phulkas. It is a must-try side dish if you are looking for a nutritious
vegetable-based curry.
The Aloo gajar matar subzi is a wholesome, easy, and quick
stir fry recipe made within 30 minutes. This is gluten-free and a
vegan sabzi made with potatoes, carrots, green peas, onion,
tomatoes, and Indian spices.
This Indian-style potato carrot peas sabzi
is one of the popular dry curries from the Punjab region. It is an
ideal side dish for roti, phulkas, paratha, naan, chapati, dal
tadka, rasam rice, curd rice, and lemon rice.
In Hindi, the aloo refers to potato, gajar is called carrots, and
matar means green peas. I mostly prefer fresh veggies except for frozen peas to this
recipe. But you can use frozen veggies as well.
Also, I have posted several carrot peas potato cabbage combination
recipes on my blog. Will include the clickable links below. Please
