Matar basically translates to green peas and chuda is flattened rice. Green peas are not only flavorful but healthy too. The freshly harvested peas are sweet, crunchy and full of nutrients. So this recipe is a splendid fusion of two locally available ingredients into one wonderful union. What makes this recipe so unique is the special matar chuda masala, it is an amalgamation of hot spices like black cardamom, black pepper corns, cumin, etc. You can buy a ready-made preparation of this masala powder or make it from scratch at home. Savor it with a cup of adrak wali chai or ginger tea. It is great as breakfast or as an evening snack.
