Heat the vegetable oil in a pressure cooker or thick-bottomed pan over medium heat, then add the cumin seeds.
2
After about one minute, when the cumin seeds start to splutter, add the chopped onion. Sauté for roughly 5 minutes, until the onion turns a light brown color.
3
Next, add the chopped tomatoes, turmeric, chili powder, and cook until the tomatoes are soft and mashed.
4
Add 4 tbsp of water to avoid the masala sticking to the bottom, then cook the mixture for another 5 minutes.
5
Add in the diced potatoes and shelled peas, and mix them well to coat with the masala.
6
Stir in the coriander powder and diced mango to the pan.
7
Add two cups of water and cover the pot. If using a pressure cooker, cook until two whistles, roughly 15 minutes. If using a normal pan, cook it covered under low heat for about 25 minutes, or until the potatoes are well-cooked and tender.

Adjust the thickness of the gravy to your preference by mashing some of the potato cubes with a ladle.
