This is a very simple recipe. I still thought about posting this because, the base of this recipe ( point where you add peas and potatoes)can be used to cook almost any vegetable curry - potatoes, spinach, cauliflower, capsicum , mushrooms etc. Another variation of this recipe is to use tomato puree instead of chopped tomatoes Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups peas, boiled |
1 cup diced potato, boiled |
1 cup tomato, chopped |
1/2 cup onion, chopped finely |
1/2 tablespoon ginger paste |
1/2 tablespoon garlic paste |
2 green chilies, chopped |
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder |
1/2 teaspoon cumin powder |
1 teaspoon coriander powder |
1 teaspoon garam masala |
1 teaspoon vegetable oil |
1/2 cup water |
1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped |
salt, to taste |
Directions:
1. Heat the oil in a pan.
2. Add the ginger,garlic, onions, chillies and tomatoes.
3. Saute till the tomatoes and onions are softened.
4. Add the turmeric powder, coriander powder, cumin powder and garam masala.
5. Add salt to taste.
6. Add the boiled peas and potatoes.
7. Add the chopped cilantro.
8. Add the water and bring to a simmer.
9. Serve with Indian Bread or Rice.
10. Tip: I microwave frozen peas and potatoes for about 10 minutes in my microwave.
