Aloo matar til

                 
                           Continuing with my vegetarian recipes streak here is another delicious lip smacking side dish which is also very healthy. As the name says Aloo matar til it has aloo i.e potato, matar i.e. peas and finally til i.e. sesame seeds. Sesame seeds are rich in calcium also being an excellent source of iron, magnesium, phosphorus & other vital nutrients. Also try Til ki chutney from My Mom's Kitchen.
