Ingredients

• 4 medium (about 600g) potatoes
• 1.5 cups (frozen or fresh) green peas
• 1 medium, finely chopped onion
• 2 medium, finely chopped tomato
• 3 finely minced garlic cloves
• 1 inch piece, finely grated ginger
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 0.5 teaspoons ground turmeric
• 1 teaspoons ground cumin
• 1.5 teaspoons ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoons garam masala
• 0.25 teaspoons (adjust to taste) red chili powder
• 1 teaspoons (adjust to taste) salt
• 1 cups water
• 2 tablespoons, chopped (for garnish) fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Rinse them under cold water and set aside.

Step 2

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or pot over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for 4-5 minutes, until softened and lightly golden.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the chopped tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes soften and turn into a thick sauce.

Step 6

Stir in the ground turmeric, cumin, coriander, garam masala, and red chili powder. Cook for 1-2 minutes to toast the spices and bring out their flavors.

Step 7

Add the diced potatoes to the skillet and stir to coat them evenly with the spice mixture.

Step 8

Pour in the water and season with salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.

Step 9

Cover the skillet with a lid and cook the potatoes for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 10

Add the green peas to the skillet and stir well. Continue cooking for an additional 5-7 minutes, until the peas are tender and the curry has thickened to your desired consistency.

Step 11

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or spices if needed.

Step 12

Turn off the heat and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving.

Step 13

Serve hot with steamed rice or flatbread, such as naan or roti.
