Ingredients
- 3 medium Potatoes
- 1.5 cups Chickpeas (cooked or canned, drained)
- 1 cup Green peas
- 1 large Onion
- 1 large Tomato
- 1 inch piece Ginger
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 Green chili
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro leaves
- 1 cup Water
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into small cubes. Finely chop the onion, tomato, and cilantro. Grate the ginger and crush the garlic.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until they become golden brown.
Add ginger, garlic, and green chili. Sauté for another minute until the raw smell disappears.
Add tomatoes and cook until they soften and the oil starts to separate.
Stir in turmeric powder, coriander powder, and red chili powder. Mix well.
Add the potato cubes, chickpeas, and green peas. Mix everything together so the spices coat the chunks nicely.
Add salt and one cup of water, then cover the pan. Let it simmer on low heat for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Once the potatoes are cooked and tender, add garam masala and mix well.
Turn off the heat and garnish with chopped cilantro leaves.
Serve hot with roti, rice, or any bread of choice.
