History of Aloo matar

---

Aloo matar is an Indian dish, originated from the Punjab region of India and therefore we can also consider it to be Punjabi dish as well. The core ingredient of this dish is Aloo which is commonly known as potato and matar i.e. Peas. The basic formula of this dish is to add potatoes and peas in a well-spiced gravy.
To make our gravy spicy we use garlic, ginger, onion and tomatoes along with various spices in a well-defined ratio. The dry aloo matar i.e. aloo matar without gravy can be used as a core ingredient itself for some another dishes such as aloo paratha, Dosa or tikki. This dish is so yummy and favorite that it is now even available in some ready-to-eat packets, and all you need to do is to just heat them only. This make is more popular at a commercial level as there are many companies who are manufacturing such packets.
