Hey you guys, how is everyone doing today?

 
My friend @amy-goodrich shared so many amazing vegan recipes for Indian food lately and inspired me to cook some Indian dishes as well. Today I'm sharing one of the easiest Indian dishes I know - Aloo Matar. Aloo stands for potatoes and matar for peas. This potato-pea curry can be cooked with coconut milk or tomato sauce. I love both versions but here I'm sharing the tomato one with you guys. I hope you love it as much as I do! 💚
