Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup chickpeas, cooked and drained
- 2 medium-sized potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 cup green peas, fresh or frozen
- 1 medium-sized onion, finely chopped
- 2 medium-sized tomatoes, pureed
- 1 tablespoon ginger garlic paste
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon garam masala
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons fresh coriander leaves, chopped
Instructions
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and let them splutter for a few seconds.
Add the finely chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.
Stir in the ginger garlic paste and cook for another minute until the raw smell disappears.
Add the pureed tomatoes, turmeric powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, and salt. Cook until the oil starts to separate from the masala, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the diced potatoes, cooked chickpeas, and green peas into the pan. Mix everything well to coat the potatoes and peas with the masala.
Pour in the water, stir to combine, and bring the mixture to a boil.
Once boiling, cover the pan with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Once the potatoes are cooked, add the garam masala and stir well. Adjust the seasoning with salt if necessary.
Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve hot with rice or roti.
