About Alu matar

Alu Matar is a flavorful Indian dish made with potatoes (alu) and green peas (matar) simmered in a spiced tomato-based gravy. Popular in North Indian cuisine, this vegetarian recipe is often accompanied by rice or flatbreads like roti or naan. It typically includes ingredients such as onions, garlic, ginger, and a blend of aromatic spices like turmeric, cumin, and garam masala. Potatoes provide carbohydrates for energy, while green peas offer dietary fiber, vitamins, and plant-based protein. Tomatoes contribute antioxidants like lycopene, which support heart health. The dish is relatively low in fat if prepared with limited oil, making it a wholesome choice for balanced meals. However, variations with excess oil or cream may increase calorie content. Alu Matar is a nutrient-dense option that provides a hearty and satisfying vegetarian meal when enjoyed in moderation as part of a well-rounded diet.
