Dhania Waale Aloo Matar. Potatoes and peas spiced with Indian spices and cilantro | Vegan Richa

I clicked a bunch of pictures of the every day food when Mom was visiting. I had to remember to do so on most days. The food would always get ready around meal time and served hot. Imagine trying to hold myself and sometimes others from eating, to take one picture.:) Now, to edit the pictures and also cook up a few other things in between to give you all a break from all the Indian food :). 
I think I should call up Mom and talk to her about what she is cooking up today to get pumped up about creating something in the kitchen. Sigh, I am missing everyone terribly and feeling uninspired. Mom now has Surface and Iphone, and uses Skype to call whenever she feels like it, which is every day. 🙂 She is the cutest. 

This Potato Pea stir fry is absolutely delicious and more so if you like cilantro. There is fresh cilantro crisped up in the oil, dry coriander seed powder and topped with more fresh cilantro. It can work as a side with an Indian meal with Dal, Roti and salad, eaten as is, or top a bowl of quinoa, or use as stuffing for sandwiches, wraps or samosas.

    Hi Richa

    Do you think there would be any way I could adapt this to make it without the oil?

    1. Richa says:

      Sure, use broth instead to cook the cilantro and proceed.

    I don’t know if you have hedge apples over there. They are about the size of a softball, lumpy and light green. Supposed to keep spiders out. Of course they are falling off the tree here in the US now.
