Ingredients:


12 small potatoes -- (1 1/2 pounds), washed

2 medium onion -- rough chopped

3 cloves garlic

1/2 piece ginger

3 tablespoons vegetable oil

1/2 tablespoon cumin

1 teaspoon salt to taste

1/4 teaspoon cayenne

1/2 teaspoon turmeric

2 large tomatoes -- coarsely chopped

1 cup peas

1/4 cup water

1/2 teaspoon garam masala
 

Preparation / Directions:


Cook the potatoes until tender. Peel and set aside. In the container of a blender or food processor, puree the onions, garlic, and ginger. In a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat, warm the oil. Add the cumin. When the cumin darkens (1 to 2 seconds) add the purred onion mixture and sauté until browned (about 12 minutes). Add the salt, cayenne, turmeric, and tomatoes and cook until they soften (about 5 minutes). Add the peas and water, reduce heat to low, cover and cook for 5 minutes. Halve the cooked potatoes and add them to the skillet and cook covered another 5 minutes. Mix in the garam masala just before serving.
