Aloo mutter sabzi is mildly spiced, a bit tangy and flavorful side dish which goes well with roti, pooris, or with Plain Paratha (Indian Bread), also can be served with simple dal & steamed rice. Usually as a kid we used to have this dish esp in winters as fresh peas used to come in that season. The sweetness of fresh pea & flavor of spices along with potatoes…takes me back to my childhood memories. I have tweaked it little by adding kasuri methi instead of coriander leaves, kasuri methi gives nice taste and aroma to this dish. If you don’t like flavor of kasuri methi you can replace it with chopped coriander leaves. Now as frozen peas is available, so I make whenever I want to make 😉. I make variations of aloo mutter sabzi, this is one the recipe from my kitchen.
