ALOO PEAS MASALA
¯
Because Even Potatoes Need a Game Plan 🧠
For best texture, use freshly boiled potatoes and mash them lightly for a chunky bite. Frozen peas can be used directly without thawing. Sauté onions till translucent—not browned—for a soft and sweet base. Adjust spice level by increasing green chillies or adding red chilli powder. This masala can also be used inside sandwiches, kathi rolls, or puff pastries. Leftovers taste great the next day when reheated with a touch of ghee.
