Notes

You can use small nimki(diamond shape) or papdi also instead of nimki.
You can add little curd and sweet chutney…but we prefer in this way.
By adding besan slurry the curry is little thick in consistency and enhance the flavour.
Add hot water to the boiled matar-aloo mixture instead of normal water …it enhance the flavour
