Method :

Cook peas and potatoes. Mash the potatoes. Boil water in a pan. Put the whole tomatoes in it and keep aside for few mins. Then peel the skin and grind tomatoes to smooth paste. Grind the masala using very little water or without water. Heat ghee in a heavy bottom pan, season with cumin seeds and fry the ground masala in medium flame, till the ghee separates from it. Add the tomato puree and bring it to a boil. Now add mashed potatoes and peas. Pour enough water and boil for a few minutes. Remove from the fire, garnish with cut coriander leaves. Serve hot with puris or chappathis.

Whole green gram and any leafy vegetable can be substituted in place of peas and potatoes. Soak green gram 6 to 7 hrs before, cook with keerai [leafy vegetable or palak] and do as per recipe. Omit coriander leaves if keerai is used.
