• Wash and chop onions and tomatoes. Puree tomatoes if you do not like them chopped.

• Heat oil in a cooker, pan or kadai. Saute cumin till they begin to crackle.
• Add chopped onions, green chili and fry until lightly golden or pink.
• Next put in the ginger garlic paste and saute until the raw smell disappears.
• Add tomato puree and saute for 2 mins.
• Next add chili powder, garam masala, coriander powder, turmeric and salt.
• Saute until oil begins to separate from the masala.
• Add potatoes and peas. Saute for 2 mins.
• Add water just enough to cover the potatoes. Cook covered on a low to medium heat.
• Stir in between a few times, cook until the potatoes turn soft. You can adjust the consistency by adding more water as needed.
• If making in pressure cooker then, allow to whistle twice on a medium heat.

• Serve aloo matar with rice or roti.
• Chop the potatoes to 1 inch pieces. Press saute button on the instant pot and pour oil to the steel insert.
• When the oil turns hot, add cumin seeds. As soon as they begin to splutter, add chopped onions and saute until light golden.
• Then stir in the ginger garlic and saute for 30 to 60 seconds. Then add tomato puree and mix well.
• Add all the spice powders - red chilli powder, turmeric, garam masala, coriander powder and salt.
• Saute for a few minutes until the masala smells aromatic. (For a more authentic version you may saute this till the masala turns thick and aromatic. For this you have to switch over to saute low and saute.)
• Then pour 1 cup of water for 2 cups of cubed potatoes. After pouring water scrape the bottom of the steel insert with a spatula to deglaze. Add peas. (If using frozen peas that are too tender, add them later once the curry is done. Simmer for a few minutes.)
• Secure the Instant pot lid with the steam release handle set to sealing.
• Press pressure cook button (high pressure) & set the timer to 4 minutes. When the IP is done, do a quick release by moving the steam release valve from sealing to venting.
• Add kasuri methi. Stir and taste test. Add more garam masala and salt if you prefer. For a thicker consistency you can also cook it on a saute mode for 1 minute.
• Garnish aloo matar with coriander leaves. Serve aloo matar with rice or roti.

PEA & NEW POTATO CURRY

Steps:

• To make your own pea stock: put leftover pea pods in a large saucepan with half bunch each mint, thyme and parsley. Add enough water to cover, and some salt and black peppercorns. Gently bring to the boil and simmer for 35 mins, then strain. Chill for up to five days or freeze for up to a month.
• Heat the oil in a large, deep frying pan. Add the onions and cook over a low heat for 10-15 mins until soft. Throw in the chillies, ginger and spices, and cook for a few mins. Stir in the potatoes and lime juice, coating in the spice mix.
• Add the yogurt, coriander stalks and the stock. Simmer slowly for 35-40 mins until the potatoes are soft and the sauce has reduced. Stir through the peas and cook for another 5 mins. Sprinkle over the coriander leaves, and serve with lime wedges and warm naan bread.

POTATO PEA CURRY

Steps:

• Cut the potatoes into 1/2-inch dice. To remove the excess starch, place the potatoes in a bowl and rinse with cold running water until the water runs clear. Drain well.

• Simmer, uncovered, until the potatoes are soft, about 15 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients and cook until the peas are heated through. Adjust the seasonings and serve immediately.

POTATO CURRY WITH PEAS AND CARROTS

Steps:

• In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. When hot, add the hot curry powder and stir it around for 30 seconds. Add the onions to the pan and saute until they are tender and a bit golden. When you're there, add the carrots, potatoes, and minced garlic. Give it all a good stir, and then add about a half cup each of water and coconut milk. Stir in the turmeric, salt, and coriander. Reduce the heat to low and cover it. Check every so often to stir the pot and check the moisture level. When the moisture is almost all absorbed, add more coconut milk and water, in equal parts. Continue to cook, stir, and add liquid until the vegetables are very tender and the curry is nice and thick. At this point, taste it to check that the spice levels are where you like them. When you're there, stir in the peas and the rest of the coconut milk (and water if necessary), and cook it for.
