Aloo gajar matar ki sabji is a very tasty combination of potatoes, carrots and peas. It’s a common vegetable curry dish in India, a quick, nutritious and easy way to make a delicious vegetable side dish, that can be served for lunch or dinner along with Indian bread or just rice.

A kids friendly recipe, I cook it pretty often and my daughter loves it.

Hope you try it and let me know how it turns out!

Step by step how to cook Aloo Gajar Matar ki sabji:

In a pressure cooker heat some oil. Add cumin seeds and mustard seeds and let it fry for 30 seconds.

When they start to crackle, add chopped onion and ginger garlic paste. Stir fry for 5 minutes, on medium flame.

 

Add tomato, green chilli, salt and all powder spices. Mix well and let it cook few minutes, until the tomato gets soft.

Now it’s time to bring potatoes, carrots and peas into the curry. Mix well so the vegetables get covered with masala. Add half cup of water, close the lid and pressure cook it, on medium flame, for 2 whistles.

Once done, turn off the flame, let the pressure go down by itself, then open the cover.

Aloo gajar matar is ready to serve! Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve hot.

    • Sure it can be cooked in a pan too. In this case, add less water and cover the pan with a lid. Cook on low flame until the vegetables are soft.
      Hope it helps. Let me know how it turned out for you.

    • Hi Cynthia,
      I have never used an electric pressure cooker but it shouldn't take more than 4-6 minutes once the cooker has reached pressure (2-3 minutes per whistle, on medium heat). Hope it helps.

  • Hi, I have a electric pressure cooker and do not what two whistles means? Do you know in a electric pressure cooker how long I should cook this for? It sounds delish!

  • I made this tonight in a normal pan but exactly as written and it was delicious. It will be a regular dish now for us. Excellent recipe!
