Potato and peas curry!!!



This is a delicious dish that my aunt used to cook back home. I thought of trying it out. She gave me the recipe over phone. It was very easy and took merely half hour to prepare it.

You will need:
4 medium sized potatoes
2 cups fresh green peas
1 cup finely chopped onions
2 medium sized tomatoes chopped
1 cup grated coconut
2 small tamarind pieces
4 -6 red chillies
2 cloves
1 inch cinnamon stick
2 cardomoms
1 tsp turmeric powder
Salt to taste
1/2 cup chopped cilantro

Method:
First boil and peel the potatoes and chop it into small pieces . Keep it aside.
Make a paste by grinding grated coconut, red chillies,tamarind ,turmeric, cloves, cinnamon, cardamom and salt

Heat one tsp oil in a pan.. Sauté the chopped onions until transparent and add the chopped tomatoes and cook well. To this add the ground paste and add 2 cups water and cook for about 5 min . To this add the fresh green peas and cook for another 5 minutes.once the green peas get cooked add the boiled potatoes and cook for another 2 minutes. Add cilantro and stir well. Add salt if required.

Potato peas curry is ready to be relished!!!it goes best with white rice or even can be eaten with rotis.
