Anjeeri Matar Recipe

on

Indian cuisine is home to a number of gravy dishes and that is simply because the desi palate finds a massive amount of comfort in stomaching flatbreads dipped in or rice mixed with thick and rich curries. Who wouldn’t? 

The anjeeri matar is another delicious member of the curry kin. the preparation is essentially tender green peas doused in a mildly-spiced gravy spiked with yogurt and figs. The outcome is a luscious gravy that rolls around on your palate like magic. Gastronomical magic.
