Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium, peeled and diced potatoes
- 1 cup green peas
- 1 large, finely chopped onion
- 2 large, finely chopped tomatoes
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 1 inch piece, grated ginger
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon garam masala
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1 cup water
Instructions
Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat.
Add cumin seeds and let them splutter for about 30 seconds.
Add chopped onion and sauté until they turn golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
Add garlic and ginger and sauté for another minute until aromatic.
Stir in the chopped tomatoes and cook until they become soft and release oil, about 5 minutes.
Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, and coriander powder. Mix well and cook for a couple of minutes.
Add diced potatoes and green peas to the pan. Mix everything together so the potatoes and peas are well coated with the spices.
Pour in the water, cover the pan, and allow the mixture to simmer over low heat until the potatoes are fully cooked, about 15 minutes.
Once the potatoes are tender, add garam masala and adjust the spices if needed.
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and serve hot.
