Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and cut them into small cubes. Finely chop the onion, tomato, and cilantro. Grate the ginger and crush the garlic.

Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.

Add tomatoes and cook until they soften and the oil starts to separate.

Step 6

Stir in turmeric powder, coriander powder, and red chili powder. Mix well.

Step 7

Add the potato cubes, chickpeas, and green peas. Mix everything together so the spices coat the chunks nicely.

Once the potatoes are cooked and tender, add garam masala and mix well.
