Ingredients

• 3 pieces medium potatoes
• 1 cup frozen green peas
• 1 large yellow onion
• 4 pieces garlic cloves
• 1 inch piece fresh ginger
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 14-ounce can canned tomatoes
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup water
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Set aside.

Step 2

Finely chop the onion, garlic, and ginger.

Step 3

Heat the coconut oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and sauté until they start to sizzle and release their fragrance, about 1 minute.

Step 4

Add the chopped onion to the pan and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the garlic and ginger, and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the ground coriander, turmeric, and cayenne pepper to the onion mixture. Stir to combine and cook for 1 more minute.

Step 7

Add the canned tomatoes to the pan, including their juices. Break them down with a spoon and cook for 3-4 minutes until the mixture reduces slightly.

Step 8

Add the cubed potatoes and frozen green peas to the pan, stirring them into the tomato mixture.

Step 9

Season with salt, then pour the water into the pan. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pan.

Step 10

Simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the sauce has thickened. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 11

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Before serving, garnish with freshly chopped cilantro.

Step 12

Serve hot as a side dish or a main course.
