Benarasi Aloo Matar | Rasedar Aloo Matar | No Onion, No Garlic Recipe

Jump to Recipe
 

Benarasi Aloo Matar also known as Rasedar aloo matar is one of the easiest and most delicious side dishes. It is No Onion and No Garlic recipe and can be made in under 30 minutes.

Uttar Pradesh Thaali %% Benarasi Aloo Matar

This Benarasi Aloo Matar is a subzi from Uttar Pradesh that is very close to my heart. I lived about 6 years of my life in Kanpur and I was exposed to many North Indian recipes because of that.

My mother who is a great cook also learned a lot of her cooking when we lived in UP and hence very often cooks North Indian food along with the traditional South Indian food.

We lived in a rental house and the owners of the house did not eat onion or garlic. All their recipes were no onion and no garlic and it still amazes me how much flavor they got in their dishes.

I remember very clearly that their daughter used to bring her food down to our house and ask my mom to give her a piece of onion and then would eat it.

This is one of the very frequently made dishes in their house and I have had the luxury of eating this finger licking simple dish very often. I saw a video of this recipe and tried and it turned out really good.

The rasedar aloo matar recipe uses very basic and few ingredients and is very quick to make. I made this dish as a part of my UP Thali. Do check out my other recipes that I made for the Thali. This Rasedar aloo matar is a very famous combo with Poori!
