PATTA GOBHI MATTAR KI SUBZI
Tastes vary when it comes to vegetables. However, there are some vegetables which seem to be generally more popular than others. These include Cabbage ( Patta Gobhi or Band Gobhi in Hindi) and Green Peas ( Mattar/Matar in Hindi). Together too they make a good combination.
I am fond of green peas and cabbage as is evident from several recipes of these two veggies in this blog, such as Cabbage Stuffed Capsicum, Spinach and Cabbage Parantha, Methi Mutter Pasanda, and Matar ka Shorba.
Today's recipe, adapted from a YouTube video by VahChef is a simple to make yet tasty subzi or side dish which goes well with rice or with roti, phulkas, and any other type of Indian flat breads.
I used frozen green peas but fresh green peas would do as well. If you are using fresh green peas, you would, of course, add them in cooked form.
