Aloo Gobi Mattar

This is an adaptation of aloo gobi mattar recipe #187408 - a very tasty recipe. All i have done is rewrite it with the ingredients in the order they are used. At this time, i have only prepared it once. I used a combination of olive oil and butter for cooking, ginger paste in lieu of all of the fresh ginger, vegetable stock, and went without the hot green chili pepper, fenugreek seeds and fresh cilantro as i did not have them on hand. This dish is an excellent addition to any indian meal and equally good reheated the next day.
