Ingredients

• 500 grams potatoes
• 200 grams chickpeas (cooked or canned, drained and rinsed)
• 100 grams green peas
• 1 medium, finely chopped onion
• 1 medium, chopped tomato
• 1 inch, grated ginger
• 1 finely chopped green chili
• 0.5 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon garam masala
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons oil
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh cilantro
• 100 milliliters water

Directions

Step 1

Peel and cube the potatoes into 1-inch pieces.

Step 2

Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat and add the cumin seeds. Let them sizzle for a few seconds until aromatic.

Step 3

Add finely chopped onion and sauté until they turn golden brown.

Step 4

Stir in the grated ginger and chopped green chili and sauté for another minute.

Step 5

Add the chopped tomato and cook until it softens and starts to break down.

Step 6

Mix in the ground turmeric, ground coriander, and red chili powder. Stir well to coat the onion-tomato mixture with spices.

Step 7

Add the cubed potatoes to the pan and stir to coat them with the spice mixture.

Step 8

Pour in the water, cover the pan, and let the potatoes cook on medium heat until they are tender, about 15-20 minutes. Stir occasionally.

Step 9

Once potatoes are tender, add the cooked chickpeas and green peas. Stir to combine, adding more water if necessary to prevent sticking.

Step 10

Season with salt and garam masala, and cook for another 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Step 11

Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.

Step 12

Serve hot with roti, naan, or rice.
