Gobi Matar Curry

With a tiring week behind me, wanted to try out something different for the quiet Friday night as it silently rains outside. Was looking around and found a nice recipe for tasty Gobi Matar curry. Spent about 25 minutes on it (after the cooking of the veggies were done) and lo! it was ready. So here is the delicious curry I prepared. Hope you get a chance to try it too.

Ingredients
1 cup peas and some cauliflower pieces (boiled and cooked separately)
1 onion
2 tomatoes
1 teaspoon Ginger/Garlic paste
1 teaspoon Kitchen King masala (this one adds a nice 'restaurant like' taste)
1 teaspoon Red chilly powder
1 Green chilli chopped
1 Red chilli chopped
1/2 teaspoon Coriander powder
1 Tablespoon thick yoghurt
A pinch of turmeric
Some chopped coriander leaves
1 tablespoon oil/butter
Salt to taste



Method
1) First boil and keep aside the peas and cauliflower pieces. Make sure they are not too overdone.
2) Heat oil in a deep dish pan and add onions to it. Saute it till it turns brown.
3) Add ginger/garlic paste, green chili, red chilie to this mixture and saute for a few more minutes until the aroma catches on.
4) Now add chopped tomatoes, coriander and all the dry masalas to this mixture. Let it cook on medium flame until tomatoes are completely done.
5) Now take this off the heat and let it cool. In the meantime you can make your rice or roti or whatever else you have planned to have this curry with.
6) Once the mixture is cool, blend it with 1 tablespoon of thick yoghurt to a smooth paste.
7) Now mix the veggies and this paste together with a little water and let the dish simmer for about 5 minutes.
8) Add salt to taste and garnish with remaining coriander leaves. And that's it!



I found that the more yoghurt you add the more "non spicy" it becomes. So make sure you add just enough to keep your horns from going off!



Enjoy!
