Aloo Shimla Mirch (Potatoes and Green Peppers)

One of our favorite lunches for our helper to cook, even though I taught her how we like it! :)

Aloo Shimla Mirch

6 potatoes

2-3 green peppers, chopped

4 garlic cloves, chopped

1 onion, chopped

1 t. cumin seeds

1 T. dania (coriander powder)

1/4 t. turmeric

3/4 t. salt

1 1/2 t. garam masala

1/4 t. pepper

Peel and cut the potatoes into bite size pieces.  Boil until soft to the bite, but still hold their shape.  Drain the water off and keep aside. 

Heat 1-2 T. oil in a wok.  Add cumin seed and saute till it starts popping and smelling great!  Add chopped garlic, onion, and green pepper.  Saute 5-7 minutes till pepper is softening.  Add potatoes and stir fry, with a bit more oil if necessary.  Then add dania, turmeric, salt and pepper, and about 1-2 T. water.  Stir to combine and coat.  Last, add garam masala and stir to coat, adding a bit of water as needed to get a good consistency.  Serve with chapatis.
