Gajar Matar ki Sabji | Punjabi Style Carrot Peas Dry Curry

easy and simply healthy side dish using red carrots, fresh green peas from Punjabi Cuisine

Winter season and that too red carrots !!!  What a marvelous combination. Although little summer vibes are here in my area, still the red carrots and even fresh green peas are plentifully available. So here is a healthy side dish asGajar Matar ki Sabji or Punjabi style Carrot and Peas Dry curry.

The dish is quite simple and easy to make. The main ingredients are carrots, peas and to this I have added few potato cubes. I love to add in this sabji, so added but is optional. One can use either fresh or frozen green peas here. Particularly the red carrots used here attract me more even my both boys (husband and son 😉). So winter time means this dish is one of the regular kind of side dish for chapati at my place.

I have used few spice powders like coriander powder, garam masala powder, red chili powder, turmeric powder. I have skipped to add cumin powder this time as I was run out of that. But one can add. Along with paratha, poori, chapati or even with rice-dal combo this pairs very well. If winter time is gone, then the regular carrots can be used and it also makes a good taste. 

Why one should make this ?

• Vegan as well as Gluten free dish
• Perfect easy and simple dish during winter
• Healthy side dish for chapati
• For festive time, this is a perfect side dish asonion and garlic are not used
• Low oil recipe

So do try this super simple, easy to make and with few ingredients dry sabji from Punjabi cuisine.
