  • Heat oil in pan or kadai. Add mustard seeds, cumin seeds, urad dal, chana dal, curry leaf, slit green chilies, red chilies and minced ginger. Saute for a minute.
  • Add thinly sliced onions and shelled green peas.
  • Saute for 2 minutes or until onions turn a bit soft. Do not let them turn brown.
  • Add salt to taste and turmeric powder. Mix well and cook for a minute or two.
  • Add the finely chopped tomato and saute for a minute. Add mashed potato. Next add 2 tablespoons roasted gram flour or besan and coat the potatoes well. Coat the flour very well to the potatoes by sautéing.
  • Add 2.5 cups water and mix very well. Cover and cook for 7-8 minutes or until the curry thickens a bit. You can cook for up to 10 minutes for a very thick curry.
  • Once the potato masala has reached the desired consistency, add lemon juice and chopped coriander leaves.
