Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 tablespoon Ginger garlic paste
- 0.5 cup Green peas (frozen or fresh)
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro leaves (fresh, chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into 1-inch cubes.
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt and the potato cubes. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until just fork-tender but not mushy. Drain and set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large, non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the ginger garlic paste, cooking for 1 minute until aromatic.
Add coriander powder, turmeric, garam masala, and red chili powder. Stir for 30 seconds to toast the spices.
Gently toss the boiled potato cubes into the skillet, ensuring they are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Add the green peas and salt, stirring to combine. Cook for 5 minutes, allowing the peas to heat through and the potatoes to become slightly crispy.
Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice and chopped cilantro.
Serve warm as a standalone snack, side dish, or use as a stuffing for wraps or sandwiches.
