Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 large potatoes, raw, cut into cubes (aloo)
1 cup peas (matar)
1/2 cup paneer cheese (optional)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 medium onions, chopped
1 inch fresh ginger, peeled and minced
4 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
1 green chili pepper, minced (adjust for preference on spiciness)
2 tomatoes, chopped
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon red chili powder
2 teaspoons garam masala
1 cup water
2 tablespoons cilantro (to garnish, coriander)

Steps:

  • Heat oil in pressure cooker if you have one. If not, any pot/pan will do.
  • Add onions and stir constantly until slightly brown.
  • Add garlic and ginger to onions and stir constantly until mixture is brown.
  • Add tomatoes and green chili to mixture and stir constantly for 3-5 minutes (if you find the mixture sticking to the pan, add a few tablespoons of water).
  • Add salt, turmeric, black pepper, paprika, red chili, and garam masala, stir for 30 seconds.
  • Add potatoes and peas (and paneer, if using) and stir for 2 minutes.
  • Add cup of water and stir until water mixed in
  • Close pressure cooker and cook for 1 whistle, take off burner, release pressure (or cover pot/pan and cook for 10-15 minutes (until potatoes cooked), stirring occasionally to prevent food from sticking to bottom of pot/pan).
  • Garnish with cilantro (coriander).
  • Serve hot with basmati rice or roti and cucumber raita. Enjoy!
