INSTRUCTIONS

Boil the potatoes in salted water to cover in a medium saucepan until
cooked through but still firm, about 15 to 20 minutes. Drain the
potatoes in a colander. While the potatoes are cooking, toast the
coriander, cumin and curry in a small skillet over moderately-high
heat, shaking the pan, until aromatic, about 2 minutes. Heat the
vegetable oil in a large skillet over moderate heat until hot but not
smoking. Add the chilies, ginger, cilantro stems and roots, black
mustard seeds, turmeric, and toasted spice mixture. Cook, stirring,
until mustard seeds pop, about 3 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and
salt, combine well, and cook, stirring, until the tomatoes release
their liquid and begin to form a sauce, about 3 minutes. Add the
potatoes and cook gently for 3 minutes. Add the peas, and cook for 3
minutes. Sprinkle with lemon juice, garnish with fresh cilantro
leaves, and serve immediately. This recipe yields 6 side dish
servings.  Recipe Source: COOKING LIVE with Sara Moulton From the TV
