Aloo Matar (Indian Potato and Pea Curry)

Ingredients

• •600 g potatoes, cubed
• •200 g frozen peas
• •400 g canned tomatoes
• •1 tsp cumin
• •1 tsp garam masala
• •1/2 tsp turmeric
• •1 tbsp neutral oil

Directions

1. 1Heat the oil and add the cumin seeds, waiting for them to darken.
2. 2Add the cubed potatoes and fry eight minutes until the edges catch and colour.
3. 3Add the tomatoes and turmeric with salt and cook five minutes until thickened.
4. 4Pour in enough water to half cover, then simmer fifteen minutes until the potatoes are nearly tender.
5. 5Add the peas and cook five minutes more.
6. 6Stir in the garam masala off the heat and rest a moment before serving.

💡 Garam masala goes in at the end, not the beginning. Cooked into the base it turns dusty and loses its point entirely.
