Summer Aloo Gobi Matar

Indian Summer Aloo Gobi Matar

SpiceBreeze
Aloo Gobi Matar is a popular Indian curry with potato ("aloo"), cauliflower ("gobi"), and peas ("matar").  It's easy to make and quickly on your dinner table. We put our take on it with an ayurvedic spice blend that brings a touch of freshness to the dish, just right for the summertime. Alternatively, the spice blend makes an exotic rub for grilling.

My daughter gave me a subscription as a Christmas present while our families were quarantining together. It was so much fun! It introduced us to several cuisines that were totally new to us. The recipes were easy to follow and the spices were transformative - fresh and pungent and delicious.
