Rajasthani Kachhi Haldi Matar Sabzi (Green Peas Turmeric Curry) is a traditional Rajasthani recipe from Jodhpur made with fresh haldi (turmeric) and peas in a spiced yogurt gravy. This recipe is especially enjoyed during winters as fresh turmeric and peas are in abundance and due to the body warming properties of this dish. Fresh turmeric generates a lot of body heat and so it is a great way to counter the bitter cold in the winters.
‘Haldi’ or ‘Turmeric’ has well documented health benefits. Haldi fights infections, aids digestion, and is used to cure arthritis and other chronic diseases and is also an antiseptic. According to Ayurveda, Haldi has warming properties. This recipe is a health booster as it is full of turmeric and other spices, which have some very impressive healing properties. I use fresh haldi a lot in cooking and Jodhpuri Kacchi Haldi ki Subzi and Kachhi Haldi Matar Sabzi are always the most popular winter recipes at my home.
Rajasthani Kachhi Haldi Matar Sabzi is a simple traditional and seasonal recipe that is loaded with delicious aromatic flavours and nutrients. This dish has a strong flavour of turmeric and simple masala. It is a pretty simple recipe which goes well with any Indian flat bread.
