Matar Nimona prepared during winter season is very tasty to eat. The recipe to make it is very easy. First of all we have to take 200 grams of peas and then grind them all in a mixer along with ginger, garlic and green chillies. While grinding, keep in mind that water should not be added at all, because peas should not be ground finely.
Now keep the pan on the gas and add about 3 spoons of ghee in the pan. After the ghee is heated, add the prepared paste into it and fry the paste on low flame for 10 to 12 minutes until it turns golden. After this, take out this roasted paste in a plate.
Now put the pan again on the gas and add 3 spoons of ghee in it and heat the ghee again. Now add asafoetida and cumin seeds in it. When the cumin seeds become golden, add chopped potatoes to it. After the potatoes become golden, add onion to it and fry the onion lightly.
