Easy Gobi Matar

I usually make weeknight dinners that are less elaborate and quick. Having said that, recipes requiring minimum chopping and cooking time are my go-to. One such recipe is the quick and flavorful Gobi Matar. Chunky Gobi – cauliflower florets and Matar- peas in a spicy flavorful sauce.

The recipe demands very few ingredients and comes together in no time. There is no fancy chopping required nor heavy pots and pans. Just cut the cauliflower in chunky florets and defrost the frozen peas from the freezer. Add in the garam masala, some coriander powder, cumin powder and red chili powder. Simmer the veggies on low and BAM! you have one flavorful Gobi Matar curry.

This recipe can be alternately used for Aloo Gobhi or Aloo matar. Just use the veggies of your choice and you’re good to go!
