Preparation

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and cut into 1-inch cubes. Place in a bowl, add water to cover and set aside.

In a large saucepan over medium heat, cook the mustard seeds until they begin to pop, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the ghee or oil, onion, garlic and ginger and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion begins to soften, about 1 minute. Sprinkle in the cumin, garam masala, turmeric and cayenne and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Drain the potatoes. Add the potatoes and cauliflower and stir to coat with the spices. Add the water, cover and cook until the potatoes are almost tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the peas and cook until tender and the liquid is absorbed, about 3 minutes more.

Garnish with the cilantro and serve hot or at room temperature.
