Matar Masala is an easy to cook recipe which can be prepared at home in a matter of no time.

Contents

Ingredients: 1 ½ cup chopped tomatoes, 10-12 cashews, 1 cup green peas, 1 – 1 ½ tsp of ginger+chilli paste, 2 tbsp of fresh curd, 2 tbsp of dairy whitener, a generous pinch of hing, ½ tsp of turmeric powder, ¾ tsp of chilli powder, 1 tsp of cumin powder, 1 tsp of coriander powder, ½ tsp garam masala powder, ½ tsp of kasuri methi, 1 cup of water, 3 tbsp oil, salt, 1 tej patta, 2 cloves, 2 green cardamom, 1 inch cinnamon, 1-2 single strands of mace.
