i have been always a huge fan of paneer recipes or paneer curries, when it comes to north indian or punjabi cuisine recipes. yet i have a special place to this subtle aloo matar recipe which is an everyday dish in my house. i have a lot of varieties with this simple aloo mutter recipe which includes restaurant style, dhaba style. but this is simple, less fancy curry and can be prepared by even amateur cook. the recipe can be easily extended to restaurant style by adding cashews paste and also full cream. you may add the cashews paste while the curry is cooking and top it with cream once the cooking is completed. i would recommend you to extend it only if you are preparing for your guests and it should be fine for daily use.

furthermore some easy tips and recommendations while preparing aloo matar recipe. firstly, i have used both onion and tomatoes as the base for the aloo mutter curry. but if you are looking for no onion no garlic recipe, than you can easily skip it and it should taste equally good. secondly, i have used pressure cooker to prepare and hasten the cooking process. but it is not mandatory and can be prepared even in open pot. lastly, the recipe can also be easily extended by adding more veggies to prepare the corresponding curries. ideally the combination of these veggies like gobi, capsicum, beans, carrots and broccoli tastes good.
