Carrot Potato Peas Mix Recipe: A Typical Indian Lunch

Carrot Potato Peas Mix is very popular dish in Indian households. Apart from tasting good, it is also very nutritious. I love devouring it with 'rotis' (Indian bread made with wheat flour). At my home, we make it without adding any water or onions. But, last time, I tried a little water. It is the presence of ginger and garlic that make it so delicious to eat. I simply love its aroma and the way it looks after getting cooked. One can do variations: skipping either potatoes or peas. Let's me tell you how I make it in some easy steps.

6-7 red carrots

Salt to taste

Finely chopped ginger(101-5 pieces)

Finely chopped garlic(4-5 pieces)

3-4 tsp water (you can avoid it)

A tsp coriander

A big tsp cooking oil

Half a bowl peas

4-5 potatoes

Half a tsp turmeric

Half a tsp red chili powder

A tsp cumin seeds

      Peel the skin of carrots and wash them thoroughly under running water

Chop carrots into small pieces and set them aside.

Peel off the skin of potatoes and wash them liberally

Cut potatoes into smaller cubes. Set them aside.

Take peas in a bowl and wash them.

In a pressure cooker, heat some vegetable oil.

After a minute, add cumin seeds.

As they get sauteed, add chopped ginger and garlic

Add turmeric powder and red chili powder too.

Mix well.

After 2-3 minutes, add peas to the fried oil.

Let the peas become soft by letting them cooked for 5-7 minutes.

Add potato crumbles and carrot pieces to this mixture.

Add salt as per taste.

Sprinkle some water over the mix.

Mix with a ladle.

Close cooker's lid and lower the burner flame after the first whistle.

Let the mix get cooked for another 15 minutes.

Serve with hot 'rotis'.
