Aloo matar salad is a simply boiled potato peas Chaat style salad without pooris and special chutneys.
Equipment
- Pressure cooker
- Mixing bowl
Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 6 baby potatoes or 2 large potatoes
- 1 cup white peas cook separately
- ½ cup chopped onion
- 1 small tomato
- 1 carrot medium size
- ¾ tsp Chaat masala
- ¼ tsp chilli powder
- ¼ tsp Amchoor masala
- ¾ tsp salt as needed
- ½ lemon
- Coriander leaves optional
- ½ cup bhujia or mixture
Instructions
Preparation:
- Boil potatoes in a pressure cooker or open pot Al-dente. Do not cook until mush.
- I used baby potatoes and cooked for two whistles in a small pressure pan. For normal potatoes, one whistle may be enough based on your cooker type.
- Remove the peel and keep ready.
- Also, cook soaked dry white peas. I cooked the peas along with potatoes by keeping soaked matar(peas) in an inner vessel inside the cooker.
- Chop onion, tomato, coriander leaves and grate the carrot.
Recipe:
- In a mixing bowl, take boiled potatoes and mash them slightly.
- Add boiled white peas. I used dried white matar, cooked after soaking them for four hours.
- Put chopped onion, tomato and grated carrot.
- Add Chaat masala powder, some chilli powder, amchoor powder and salt.
- Few fresh lemon drops and gram mixture or bhujia(ompodi) just before serving. I like to use a spicy mixture instead of bhujia for the crunchy peanuts in the besan mixture.
- Mix everything together and serve as a salad or Chaat with any kind of tangy or sweet chutney.
- You can also add chopped coriander leaves.

Notes
Tips:
1) If you want to serve this as a proper chaat, you can top it with any sweet-sour chutney or peas/potato gravy.
2) As an alternative to dried white peas, you can use green peas also.
