By Paolo Piana

Here's a nice tasty winter recipe from Punjab India feeds 3-4 persons.

Its very cheap to make, and very tasty!

In the area we have lots of food co-ops running , the basic ingredients are to be found in most of their vegetable bags and it;s a good way to support our local farmers and use local produce.

Ingredients:

• Medium onion(finely chopped)

• 2 carrots(diced)

• 2 medium potatoes(diced)

• Large cup of peas(fresh or frozen)

• Tin of chopped tomatoes

• Small chilli or ½ tea spoon chilli powder

• teaspoon cumin seeds

• ½ Garam masala

• ½ teaspoon turmeric

• Salt

• 2 cloves of chopped garlic

• Teaspoon of chopped fresh ginger.

• Vegetable oil

Method

• Put oil in to a pan on medium heat

• Put in onion cumin seeds..cook until onion browns

• Add ginger and garlic and potatoes and cook gently for a few minutes.

• Add turmeric and chilli and mix for 2 minutes

• Add salt and remaining spices and mix in tomatoes.

Serve with Indian bread(chapatti, nan ) or with basmati rice.

I hope you enjoy making this dish.
