Soothing green peas and vibrant red tomatoes, what a striking combination that would be! Try this Matar Tamatar to discover the rich experience for yourself.

Cooked with classic spices and a creamy cashew paste, this is indeed a rich preparation fit to pamper your loved ones. Though a seemingly common addition to the curry, the onion-ginger paste plays an important role in enhancing the flavour and balancing the aroma of this dish.

When served with Parathas and other dishes like Paneer Amritsari , Dal Amritsari , Rice , Aam aur Chane ka Achaar , Boondi and Pomegranate Raita and Sweet Punjabi Lassi it makes a hearty meal.

The cashewnut and curd based gravy with a hint of fenugreek makes this a lovely pea based recipe.
