Eggplant, potatoes and green peas curry recipe – Aloo Baingan Matar ki sabji

 

Ok maybe this is not the best looking dish but it was for sure one of the tastiest and flavorful eggplant curry I’ve ever eaten.

Eggplant, potatoes and green peas curry (Aloo Baingan Matar ki sabji) is a very easy vegetarian dish, a healthy side or main dish to have for lunch or dinner. Served over rice, it’s a complete meal, although some Indian bread on the side would complement it very well.

Eggplant goes well in combination with almost any vegetable, especially with green peas. This recipe came out of an experiment – as I like very much the potato and peas curry, I thought adding eggplant as well in my potato peas curry. I don’t regret it as the result I’m sharing today was pretty delicious.

Like most of the curries, the flavour gets better over time, so making it a day prior is a good idea.

If you are not a big fan of eggplant but you like the combination potatoes and peas, here is another recipe you may like – carrots, potatoes and peas curry (aloo gajar matar).
