Instructions
Peel and dice the potatoes into 1-inch cubes.

Stir in turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and cumin powder. Mix well.
Add the diced potatoes, chickpeas, and green peas to the pan. Stir to coat the vegetables with the spices.
Add 1 cup of water and salt to the pan. Mix well, cover, and let it simmer on low heat for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
