sukha aloo-mutter: potatoes and peas (dry)
This dish has many variations and can be used in quite a few ways: when made dry enough (no gravy), this dish can be used as filling for samosa; or, as a filling for sandwiches when using a sandwich-maker.
This is my favorite travel food- while on a road trip, or back in the days when I enjoyed overnight train rides.
Can be served with naan, or plain basmati rice with some rasam.
Ingredients
3 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
2 cups frozen peas, thawed
1 medium yellow onion, finely diced

a pinch each of mustard seeds and cumin seeds for tempering

1 tsp brown sugar

1 Tbsp fresh grated ginger
3-4 cloves of garlic, crushed (optional)
