Gajar matar sabzi recipe, carrot peas sabji

Gajar matar sabzi is a classic combo vegetable sabji made especially when the red carrots and fresh peas are in season.

Though I meant to post earlier before the winter is over, when the Delhi carrots and peas are available, I did not.

So saved this post as draft. Better late than never. I make sure to buy these red carrots when it is in season.

Just for it's colour, I love it. Be it any dish, the cooked carrots look so attractive and also tastes great.

Not only the looks, but carrot is also rich in beta carotene which is the reason for it's color.

Even the winter vegetable matar is known for it's nutrients in it. When both the vegetables combine, it tastes best as side dish.

This is a simple sabzi is no onion or garlic. Just the masala powders and this looks and taste great.
