Aloo Tamatar (Potato-Tomato Curry)

Hi friends Shravan mahina is about to end. Many of you must be fasting like me on Mondays. Eating one time and preferably dishes  made out of potatoes . 
So I'm going to tell you my easy and less time consuming potato curry dish which you can prepare in a jiffy and enjoy with paratha or puri.



 Following are the ingredients:-

Boiled potato cut into pieces

Frozen green peas

                                                 3 green chilies chopped
                                                 1 tsp of cumin seeds
                                                 2 pinches of asafoetida
                                                 1 tsp of turmeric powder
                                                 1 tsp of chilly powder 
                                                 2 tsp of garam masala powder
                                                 1 tsp of clarified butter ( ghee )

4-5 tomatoes cut into pieces


PROCEDURE:-
Heat 1 tsp of refined oil in a pan, then add the cumin seeds (jeera) and hing (asafoetida) ,when the spices start spluttering add turmeric (haldi) powder and mirchi (chilli/paprika) powder. Then cook it for 1 min. Now add the tomato pieces into it and cook it for another 10 mins & also add required amount of salt in it. Now at this point add the boiled potatoes and peas and cook further so that all the spices are uniformly mixed. Then add 1 cup of water. Let the whole thing come to a proper boiling point. Then simmer the flame and add the garam masala powder and ghee. Mix it well and cover the pan. Give a standing time of 10-15 mins. Before serving sprinkle some coriander  leaves from top.
