Gajar matar sabzi is a classic combo vegetable sabzi 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. But last season somehow could not post it. 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. This is a simple sabzi made with no onion or garlic adapted from here. Just the masala powders and this looks and taste great.
