Sardiyon ka mausam aur hamare ghar mein nimona na bane aisa ho hi nahi sakta! Bas khoob saare taaze matar manga lo aur bade asaani se bina koi jhanjhat ke bana lo. Kabhi daal khane ka man nahi karta to chawal ke saath, kha sakte ho.
Humare ghar mein hamari Shreya aur Munni ko bahaut pasand hai yeh. Baaki hume to accha lagta hi hai!
Hume frozen matar nahi accha lagta. I always prefer buying fresh ones and storing them. Bas matar ke dane ko khaulte paani mein daal do and swtich off the gas. Dhak ke ek min ke liye rakh do. Chalni mein chaan ke ,dry them in the shade. Polythene mein daal ke freezer mein rakh do. Aur jab zaroorat pade to nikaal ke aloo matar ya matar pulao bana lo!
Ingredients:
Aloo/potatoes - 2 to 3 medium sized
Matar (kacche)/Peas (raw)- 1/2 kilo
Heeng/asafoetida- ek chutki
Pyaaz lehsun adrak/Ginger-garlic-onion paste - 1 tbsp
Garam Masala- 1 tsp (according to taste)
Dhania powder- 2 tsp
Mirchi powder- half tsp (according to taste)
Laung- 4
Oil - 1 tbsp
Ghee - 1 tbsp
Process:

Was never fond of green peas..till the time I had "Nimona" that tastes special with fresh boiled rice and a dollop of ghee :D

ReplyDeleteAmma, I am reading your blog for the first time and I am the world's worst cook! Last year I bought Pushpesh Pant's (very expensive) India cookbook but to no avail. I have a vision of myself, though, of cooking wonderful meals that my family will enjoy. Unfortunately (or fortunately) the kitchen is my husband's department. He is an excellent cook though a great improviser (he claims he never follows recipes).I am looking forward to trying out some of the recipes on your blog. But matar is now out of season and not as sweet. Could you please post some seasonal recipes?
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I am originally from UP (mother's family is in Kanpur, father was from Allahabad) though he grew up in Bombay and so did I. I am married to a Maharashtrian, so hamare yahaan sab chalta hai.
I look forward to your new recipes.
With love Namita Bhandare
Aaj dinner main - Nimona:)
