Ingredients

• 1 cup chickpeas, cooked and drained
• 2 medium-sized potatoes, peeled and diced
• 1 cup green peas, fresh or frozen
• 1 medium-sized onion, finely chopped
• 2 medium-sized tomatoes, pureed
• 1 tablespoon ginger garlic paste
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon coriander powder
• 0.5 teaspoon red chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon garam masala
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup water
• 2 tablespoons fresh coriander leaves, chopped

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add the finely chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.

Step 3

Stir in the ginger garlic paste and cook for another minute until the raw smell disappears.

Step 4

Add the pureed tomatoes, turmeric powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, and salt. Cook until the oil starts to separate from the masala, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

Add the diced potatoes, cooked chickpeas, and green peas into the pan. Mix everything well to coat the potatoes and peas with the masala.

Step 6

Pour in the water, stir to combine, and bring the mixture to a boil.

Step 7

Once boiling, cover the pan with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

Step 8

Once the potatoes are cooked, add the garam masala and stir well. Adjust the seasoning with salt if necessary.

Step 9

Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve hot with rice or roti.
