Quick alu matar/ potato, peas gravy

Normally I always keep some boiled potatoes in my fridge, as it comes handy. Or when you make plain potato vege & it is left over, no problem. Pressure cook about 1 cup peas for 1 cup left over potato vegs, add 3-4 tomatoes along with peas & pressure cook with rice/dal whatever you make. Then do seasoning/ tadka with 2 tsp oil, 1 tsp jeera/cumin add the finely cut 2 onions, along with 2" ginger cut fine & 8 garlic pearls cut fine. when you fry onion & 1/2 tsp haldi/turmeric pdr., adding little salt, helps it to fry in less oil, this can be done in microwave also. Then add the cooked peas & tomato with water, & left over potato vegs. Mix well along with salt to taste & add about 1- 1 1/2 tsp chana masala or garam masala pdr. mix well, let it simmer for about 10 minutes. garnish with chopped coriander leaves.

ps- if you don't have left over potato vege, no problem, you can cut potatoes along with peas & tomato & pressure cook, but then you may have to add some chili pdr when you fry onion according to your taste.As normally when I make potato vege, it has chili pdr. Or you can use green chilies also, as green chilies have Vit. c, so it is better than red chili pdr.
