Aloo Mutter- Easy Curries

Last Modified: November 16, 2020

The potato is indispensable in every household. No matter where you hail from or what your roots are, everyone loves this versatile tuber that the Irish take pride in. And aloo mutter- the simple yet earthy combination of potatoes and peas is a regular in most Indian households. Especially when the task of going to the Farmer s market seems unlikely and there is hardly anything green left in the fridge with the exception of a tomato or two. You have your version. And i have mine. But sometimes  even the reassuring aloo mutter needs a change or two. So, lets swap versions when you feel that food ( read aloo mutter) is boring. Bringing to you all my version.
