Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes. Chop the onion, tomatoes, ginger, and garlic finely.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and sauté until aromatic, about 30 seconds.

  2. 3

    Cook the Onions

    Add the chopped onions to the pan and cook until they become translucent, about 5 minutes.

    Add Ginger and Garlic

    Stir in the ginger and garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

  4. 5

    Add Tomatoes and Spices

    Add the chopped tomatoes, turmeric powder, coriander powder, and salt. Cook until the tomatoes soften, about 5-7 minutes.

  5. 6

    Add Potatoes and Peas

    Stir in the diced potatoes and green peas. Mix well to combine.

  6. 7

    Simmer

    Add a cup of water, cover the pan, and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

  7. 8

    Finish with Garam Masala

    Once the potatoes are cooked, stir in the garam masala and adjust salt if needed. Cook for another 2 minutes.
