Matar Makhana is rich and creamy gravy which prepared with puffed lotus
seeds and green peas in gravy of tomatoes and onions. For this recipe, you can
fry the phool makhana and peas in oil which enhance the taste. You can serve
this gravy with Indian breads like naan, paratha and puris. For thick gravy,
you can add khoya or cream which gives royal texture to this gravy. This time I
