Darbari Aloo Mutter Sabzi, Microwave Dry Subzi
by Tarla Dalal
Potatoes and green peas in a tomato-based gravy is one of the most common dishes you can think of. Any day you are in a hurry and find these two ingredients in the fridge, you will stop thinking of what to cook and immediately take these out.
The same old duo comes to you in an all-new form in this recipe. The addition of dry fruits and nuts like raisins and cashewnuts, and a sprinkling of toasted sesame seeds gives the Darbari Aloo Mutter Sabzi a rich mouth-feel and vibrant flavour.
Nevertheless, this recipe is as easy as any Aloo Mutter Sabzi, given that it is made using the microwave oven. It takes you less than 10 minutes to place this delightful dish on the table, once you are ready with all the ingredients.
