Football Aloo!

It was Super Bowl day today and we had a small potluck at a friends place.And the team i supported won! Go Green Bay Packers!!!
We came to know of this potluck really late so i dint know what to do for so many people! About 12 people got together in the last minute.
So,I made Aloo mattar the readily available ingredients Aloo and peas :) It came out great ... Here is how i made it.

Ingredients:

Masalas:
Bay leaves-2
cinnamon sticks- 2
cloves-7-8

somf-1tsp
cardamom-5

Onion-1 big yellow
garlic-3-4 cloves
ginger- a small piece
green chillies-2 (according to taste)
cashews-few(6-7)
Milk-1 cup

How i Made it:
  1. First i fried the onions garlic and ginger in a pressure cooker till the onions are golden brown and cooled it down  added the tomato puree and blend it in a mixer along with cashews and some milk
  2. Next , in the same pressure cooker i fried the masalas together(except the garam masala) in ghee(makes it tastier) 
  3. then , i added the ground onion/tomato paste, the garam masala ,a little bit of anardhana powder and fried it again till the oil separated .
  4. Next i added the potatoes and a little bit water,salt ,closed the lid and left a whistle for the potato to cook.
  5. After the pressure goes down, i added the peas (microwaved) and at last the kasoori methi.Taste it and you are done.
It was simple, easy to make and awesome to eat :D
