Recipe
- Start by placing the potatoes in a pan on a high flame. Bring it to a boil until it is partly cooked. After some time drain and cover it with water and keep it aside.
- Prepare other ingredients for potato masala till the time your cooked potatoes are ready.
- In a non-stick saucepan, start by heating the oil and add the mustard seeds.
- Then, add onions to the mixture and cook it well. After this, add garlic, ginger, and chilli. Cook until tender and fragrant. Then mix in tomato puree and half the water, stirring well for even distribution.
- Add the cooked potatoes to the mixture, then sprinkle in salt, garam masala, turmeric, and chilli powder.
- Next, put in the frozen peas and mix everything well. Cover the saucepan with a lid and let it cook for 3 minutes.
- Remove the lid to check if the potatoes are cooked properly. Use a spatula to break up the potatoes.
- Your dish is ready. Serve the dish warm, with chapati dipped in ghee.
Important Things to Keep In Mind
- Adding ⅓ to ½ cup of water while cooking the aloo masala helps keep it moist and tender instead of dry. But you can skip this step if you prefer a drier texture.
- Include chana dal, curry leaves, ginger, mustard seeds, onions, chillies, and coriander leaves for the right flavour.
