Potato Curry step-by-step Recipe

1. Rinse potatoes under water.Prick them with a fork so they can be boiled in microwave. Altenatively you can pressure cook them.
2. Take em in a microwave safe bowl with water ( enough to cover half the way). Boil covered for 3 minutes. Flip em and boil 3 more minutes. You can pierce potato and see if it's cooked all the way. If not microwave for more time. Or you can finish rest of the cooking in pan. Mine take 6 minutes to cook completely.
3. Chop onions finely.
4. Keep ginger garlic paste ready.
5. Peel the potatoes when they cooled down. Chop em roughly to medium size pieces.
6. Heat oil in a pan. Add mustard, cumin seeds. When they splutter,add curry leaves.

8. Add frozen green peas.
9. Then add potato pieces. Stir.
10. Add turmeric, salt to taste, chilli powder. Mix well. Cook covered for few minutes. You can add little water to keep curry moist, not wet.
