Potatoes and Peas make a wonderful combination in Indian cooking. This dish is full of aromatic spices and leading the way is one of my favorites- Gram Masala. This dish will be delicious with any rice and curry meal or naan, chapathis, roti etc....
To start you will need:
1 medium onion chopped
2 green chilies or jalapenos finely diced
10-15 curry leaves
1 tsp cumin seed
Heat a large skillet with 1Tbs of canola on medium-high heat. Add the cumin seed first and allow them to become fragrant (about 30-45 seconds). Then add the chopped onion and green chilies. Saute until soft.
Now add:
2-3 cloves of garlic grated
1 Tbs of grated ginger
Saute a minute until fragrant.
Add some diced boiled potato (2-3 large potatoes). Also add some salt and pepper for seasoning and saute for a few minutes.
* Note you will have to boil the potatoes before making this dish. You want the potatoes fork tender, but not mushy.
Now Add:
1 tsp of garam masala
1 tsp of red chili flakes (or to taste)
1/4 tsp of ground turmeric
Optional: I also added some diced green bell peppers. You can use fresh or frozen.
Add about a cup of frozen peas to the dish. Saute for a few minutes.
Once the peas are heated through, taste for seasoning. If you are satisfied with the flavor your dish is done.
Serves 4-6 people. Enjoy
