Instructions
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle for 30 seconds.
Add the chopped onions and sauté until they are golden brown, around 5 minutes.
Stir in the garlic, ginger, and green chili (if using). Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the diced tomatoes and cook until soft and mushy, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and garam masala. Mix well.
Add the boiled and cubed potatoes and frozen peas. Stir to coat them in the spices and cook for 2-3 minutes.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
Season the soup with salt and adjust seasoning as needed. Stir in the chopped cilantro just before serving.
In a separate frying pan, heat 1 cup of oil over medium-high heat. Fry the samosa pastry or wonton wrapper strips until golden and crispy. Remove and drain on a paper towel.
To serve, ladle the hot soup into bowls and top with the crispy pastry strips for crunch. Garnish with additional cilantro, if desired.
