Aloo Gobi Matar is a classic Indian vegetable dish made with tender potatoes, cauliflower, and green peas simmered in a fragrant blend of warm spices. This comforting, plant-based recipe is hearty, flavorful, and perfect as a main or side dish.

Ingredients

  • 2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 3 cups cauliflower florets
  • 1 cup green peas (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 medium tomatoes, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
  • 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions

  1. Heat vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle until fragrant.
  2. Add the chopped onion and sauté until soft and lightly golden.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for another minute until aromatic.
  4. Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until softened and slightly thickened.
  5. Mix in turmeric, ground coriander, ground cumin, red chili powder, and salt. Cook for 1–2 minutes to toast the spices.
  6. Add the cubed potatoes and cauliflower florets. Stir well to coat them in the spice mixture.
  7. Cover and cook on low heat for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender. Add a splash of water if needed to prevent sticking.
  8. Stir in the green peas and cook for another 3–5 minutes until heated through.
  9. Sprinkle garam masala over the top and mix gently.
  10. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.

Notes

  • Add diced carrots for extra sweetness and color.
  • For a creamier variation, stir in a splash of coconut milk.
  • Adjust red chili powder to control the spice level.
  • A squeeze of fresh lemon juice at the end brightens the flavors.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
