Sukhi Aloo Sabzi

Potatoes! Tell me please? The kilos and kilos we buy most probably every week and any dish for the matter made from potatoes I think will be a total sell-out the moment it hits our dining table? If you are asking me, oh-yes. We just so love potatoes any which way they are cooked (Tari Wale Aloo/Vegan Potato Curry), plus I can go on and on and quote a whole string and list of potato dishes I have already shared with all of you, but off hand, these are the few I thought I will link (Fried Potato Balls, Dum Aloo, Chilli Aloo & Aloo Gobi) for the benefit of staying within the context of vegetarian dishes. What is Sukhi Aloo Sabzi by the way (Kashmiri Vegetable SoupTamatar ki Chutney, Aam ka Achaar, Shahi Gobi Baingan Bharta)? Obviously, a North Indian dry style potato dish which requires boiled potatoes stir fried alongside the ingredients listed below and my style is perhaps different. Usually I think green peas are not one of the ingredients? I on the other hand decided I will because, to each our own preferable ingredients instead of like blind leading the blind? Of course. Sukhi Aloo Sabzi? Your vegetarian and vegan side dish for a rice meal (Tomato Rice Pilaf & Hyderabadi Briyani) or how about tucking in alongside bread, chapati or tosa (Punjabi Sabut Moong Dal & Navratan Korma)?  


Ingredients
3 medium size potatoes - boil till tender, remove skin and cut into small pieces
1 cup frozen green peas
4 shallots - chopped
1/2 inch ginger - chopped
1 red chilli - chopped
1 tsp black mustard seeds

1 tsp chilli powder
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
2 sprigs coriander leaves - shredded
2 sprigs curry leaves - shredded
2 tbsp oil
Salt to taste
Method
Heat oil and splatter mustard and cumin seeds.
Add ginger, shallots and chilli.
Fry to soften (1-2mins).
Add turmeric powder and chilli powder. 
Quickly stir and add the rest of the ingredients - potatoes, green peas, coriander leaves and curry leaves.
Season with salt.
Keep frying to combine all the ingredients for another 2 minutes.
Increase the heat and fry for another 2 mins or so. 
Remove once done.
