1
In a large pan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the cumin seeds and allow them to crackle for about a minute.
2
Add the finely chopped onion to the pan. Stir frequently and sauté until the onions turn light brown in color, approximately 5 minutes.
3
Add the chopped tomatoes, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Continue sautéing until the tomatoes break down and the mixture forms a paste-like consistency.
4
Stir in the potatoes and fresh green peas into the tomato mixture. Cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender.
5
Pour in one cup of water and add the coriander powder. Stir everything together, reducing the heat to low. Cover the pan and let the curry simmer for around 20-25 minutes until the potatoes are fully cooked and tender.
6
Remove the pan from heat and stir in the lemon juice. Adjust the salt if necessary.
7
Serve the Aloo Matar Curry hot, garnishing with some fresh coriander leaves if desired. Great with rice or chapati.
