So I finally got out of my lazy holiday phase today and decided to make dinner. This one makes a simple and tasty side dish. Hope you guys like it.
Things you need:
3 medium potatoes, boiled, peeled and diced
3/4 cup frozen green peas
2 medium tomatoes chopped
2 tbs chopped cilantro
2 tbs oil
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 tbs coriander powder
1 tsp fennel seeds
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp mango powder
1 tsp turmeric powder
1/4 tsp garam masala powder
1 tsp ginger paste
1 minced green chili
1/2 tsp sugar
salt according to taste
1. In a bowl mix coriander powder, fennel seeds, ginger paste, minced green chili, paprika, turmeric powder and 1/4th cup water and keep this spice mix aside.
2. Heat oil in a pan on medium heat and add the cumin seeds and wait for it to pop. once it does add in the onions and fry until the onions turn light brown.
3. Add the spice mixture and fry it for a minute or less and then add the green peas along with 1/2 cup of water. Cook this for 2 to 3 minutes.
4. Now add the potatoes, sugar, salt and 1 cup of water. Let this cook for a minute or two with the lid on and then add the tomatoes, mango powder and garam masala powder and let it cook for a few minutes until some of the water evaporates. Personally I prefer less gravy so I let most of the water evaporate but if you want it with more gravy then switch off the stove once you are happy with the water content.
5. Add the chopped cilantro and serve hot. :D
