Ό tsp red chilli powder (optional)
2-3 tbsp vegetable/canola oil

Recipe
In a flat bottomed deep pan, heat 2 tbsp oil, add a pinch of asafoetida (optional) once the oil gets heated up and then add the chopped/ground onions
Fry the onions until they are slightly brown in color, then add the ginger garlic and green chilli paste and fry for about 2-3 minutes or when it gets slightly brown in color
Now add the chopped tomatoes and fry once again until the tomatoes are mashed and form a paste (about 15-20 minutes)
Once this tomato, onion, ginger garlic paste looks nicely fried without a raw smell to it, add the turmeric powder, garam masala, salt, & red chilli powder and fry for about 3-5 minutes.
Now add the cubed potatoes and the peas to this mixture and fry once again for 5 minutes
Add 1 cup of water to the above and let everything boil for about 15-20 minutes on low heat with lid placed on the pan while intermittently checking to see that the bottom doesnt get burned. The potatoes need to absorb all the masala/ingredients.
Switch off the flame and garnish the dish with the chopped coriander/cilantro leaves
Serve with rice or flat bread/rotis
