Aloo Gobi Matar Dry or Potatoes, Cauliflower and peas dry is one of the staple side dishes of India. Almost all parts of India make and love this combination. In some regions people prefer this recipe with onions and tomatoes. Today, I made this recipe like my aunt used to, as a side dish with toor dal.
