Gobi Mattar Kheema

Ingredients:

Gobi florets chopped as very small florets or minced 3 cups
Green peas 1/2 cup
Cumin seeds1/2 sp
Mustard seeds 1/2 sp
Curry leaves few
Onions 2 medium chopped
Turmeric powder 1/2 sp
Red chilli powder 1-2 sp
Kasturi methi 2 sp
Amchoor powder 1 sp
Garam masala powder 1/2 sp
Almond powder 3 sp
Milk 1/4th cup
Ginger garlic paste 1 sp
Oil 1.5 sp
Salt to taste
Coriander leaves 2 sp chopped




Method:

1. Boil water in a bowl by adding salt and then add the cauliflower to that water and cook it for 3-4 mins or till the Gobi is only half cooked. 
2. Drain the water from the Gobi using a colander, then put it under running cold water so that the cooking process stops.
3. Soak the almond powder in warm milk before starting the cooking. You can also use around 15 whole almonds soaked in warm water, peal the skin and then make into fine paste by adding milk or water.  Keep this almond milk aside.
4. Heat oil in a pan, add mustard, cumin seeds, curry leaves, onions and cook till the onions get translucent and then add ginger garlic paste, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, little salt as we already added salt while cooking Gobi.
5. Now add the Gobi, frozen green peas ( pre boil the peas if using dried ones) and mix well and cook for 3-4 mins.
6. Then add the almond milk, and cook till the Gobi is fully cooked but still a bit crunchy.
7. Now add the crushed Katsuri methi, Amchoor powder, garam masala powder, and adjust salt if required.
8. Garnish with coriander leaves and serve hot with rotis or phulkas.

Tips:

1. You can also use just almond powder instead of almond milk and it will make a different dry variety.
