             1. Wash and peel potatoes and cut it into cubes or of any desired size.  
  
             2. Cut onions and if using frozen peas then wash it and microwave it for 30 seconds and keep it aside.

             3. Heat oil in a pan or kadai and add mustard seeds. Then add jeera followed by
