Main ingredients for aloo matar korma.

boiled fresh green peas. Peas bring a natural sweetness and refreshing flavor to the curry, balancing the richness of the gravy and potatoes. This sweetness comes from natural sugars present in the peas and complements the savory spices beautifully.
boiled potato cubes. Potatoes offer a neutral and slightly sweet flavor that readily absorbs the spices and aromatics of the korma, adding depth without overwhelming the dish.

In Aloo Mutter Korma, they add a subtle sweetness and depth of flavor that complements the earthiness of the potatoes and the freshness of the peas. 2. Add 1 cup chopped tomatoes. Tomatoes help thicken the gravy slightly, providing a smooth and creamy mouthfeel. They also soften and break down during cooking, adding another layer of texture to the dish. 3. Add ¼ cup of water. The primary reason for adding water is to achieve the desired thickness of the gravy. Some prefer a thin, soupy korma, while others like it thicker and richer. The amount of water directly affects this aspect.
