Instructions
Preparation:
First boil the potatoes and peas.
I have pressure cooked the potatoes for 2 whistles.
And I have used frozen peas, so I cooked them in microwave with a tablespoon of water for 4-5 minutes.
If using fresh peas then you can boil along with potatoes in cooker.
Let the potato cool to touch, peel and cut into cubes.
Also prep rest of the ingredients.
Making dry aloo matar recipe:
Heat the oil in a pan on medium heat.
Once hot add cumin seeds and the let them sizzle.
Then add chopped green chili and grated ginger. Saute for a minute.
Mix in tomatoes and sprinkle some salt.
Cook for 2-3 minutes or till the tomatoes become soft.
Add remaining salt and spice powders. Mix well and cook for 1 minute and oil will start to ooze out.
Add boiled, cubed potatoes and peas along with ¼ cup of water.
Mix well so masala is coated to potatoes and cook till all the water dries out. It may take 3-4 minutes.
Lastly add chopped coriander leaves .
Stir well and turn off the stove
