Directions

Peel the potatoes and boil them. Five minutes before they’re done, add the fresh green peas. Don’t overcook the potatoes, as we’ll be boiling them again later.

Drain all the potatoes and the fresh green peas.

Cut the potatoes into cubes and set them aside.

Finely chop the onions and the tomatoes.

Chop the coriander leaves.

Heat the mustard oil.

When the oil is hot, add the cumin seeds and the fenugreek seeds. Fry them for 30 seconds.

Add the onions. Fry them until they become translucent.

Add the garlic paste and the ginger paste.

Add the tomatoes, the salt, the turmeric powder, the cumin powder, the coriander powder and the red chili powder. Mix well. Simmer until the tomatoes are soft and stewed.

Add the boiled potatoes and the green peas and fry for 2 to 3 minutes.

Add water and bring to a boil. Mix well. Let it reduce until it reaches the desired consistency.

Pour into a plate and garnish with fresh coriander leaves.

Ready! Enjoy! Serve with a hot or cold drink or a local alcohol. Can be a side dish alongside dal bhat/thali (steamed rice and lentils) and various meat/fish or vegetable curries. Can also be eaten with buckwheat porridge (dhindo), maize porridge (makai ko dhindo), dhikri, buckwheat rotis, rotis, puri and/or naan.
