Wish you all a very happy and rocking 2013. Since I am fond of Street food, I thought of starting the first post of the year with a very popular Curry - Aloo Mutter, but with a twist. In contrast to the conventional Aloo Mutter sabzi, this dish is made and served in a Roadside Dhaba (roadside restaurants found on national highways) style. So it contains loads of oil and butter. But we can indulge into such type of vegetables once in a while. The highlight of this recipe is that it has been made without using Garam Masala.
Servings: Approx. 4 people
Pre-preparation:
For Onion paste:
Chop 3-4 onions
coarsely. Transfer it into a blender and blend it into a smooth paste.
For Tomato paste:

coarsely. Transfer it into a blender and blend it into a smooth paste

3 tbspns Vegetable
Oil
1 tbspn Butter
1 tspn Cumin seeds
1 tspn Ginger paste
1 tbspn Garlic paste

the chopped Curry leaves, Asafoetida and saute. Then add the fenugreek leaves
and Spinach leaves and saute for a minute. Then add the red chilly powder and
immediately add a glass of water to prevent the spices from burning. Then add
boiled Potatoes and boiled Green peas. Mix well and add Turmeric powder,
Coriander-Cumin Powder and salt to taste. Simmer it for 5 minutes. Then add the
Onion-Tomato Gravy into it. Also add some water to adjust the consistency.
Simmer it for few minutes. At the end, add chopped Coriander leaves and turn
off the flame.

Good recipe. I had to tweak it a bit because i didn't have the greens, so i made do with kasoori methi. I also added punjabi garam masala and left out the hing. Result was still delicious. Next time i will try it with the greens. Thanks.
