To prepare gobi matar sabzi recipe, firstly clean the cauliflower head, remove the leaves and cut them into medium-sized (bite-sized) florets. If you detest the flavour of raw cauliflower then blanch them before preparing the cauliflower peas masala.
-
Rinse the cauliflower florets with water. If you are afraid of the hidden crawlies inside the cauliflower, then boil them for 3-4 minutes, drain and pat dry them before using. If you have more time, then submerge them in salted water for 15 minutes and then use.

To make Amritsari gobi matar recipe, heat the oil in a deep non-stick kadhai.

Add asafoetida.

When the seeds crackle, add the turmeric powder. Adding haldi in tempering helps to provide aloo gobhi a beautiful yellow hue.

Add cauliflower.

Add green peas. If using fresh green peas, then remove them from the pods and measure one cup. If using frozen peas, simply wash them.

Cover with a lid and cook on a medium flame for 5 minutes, while stirring occasionally. Cook till the cauliflower is succulent and just done, do not overcook as we want gobhi to be soft but not mushy.

Add coriander-cumin seeds powder. To enhance the flavor of matar gobi, you can add garam masala or amchoor powder.
