- 200 grams Green peas (frozen or fresh)
- 1 large Onion
- 2 medium Tomato
- 1 tablespoon Ginger-garlic paste
- 1 finely chopped Green chili
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Instructions
Peel and dice the potatoes into medium-sized cubes.
Finely chop the onion and tomatoes. Set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
Add cumin seeds and let them crackle for a few seconds.
Add the chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.
Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and chopped green chili. Cook for about 1 minute until the raw smell disappears.
Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they turn soft and the oil starts to separate.
Mix in turmeric powder, red chili powder, and coriander powder, stirring well to combine the spices with the onion-tomato mixture.
Add the diced potatoes, green peas, and salt. Stir everything together until the potatoes and peas are well coated with the spice mixture.
Pour in the water, cover the pan with a lid, and let it simmer over low heat for about 20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and fully cooked. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
