Method
Peel and chop the potatoes, carrots, onion, ginger, garlic and tomato. In a large skillet heat the oil and add the cumin seeds. As soon as they start spluttering, add garlic, onion and ginger. When they all turn golden brown add the tomato and turmeric. Just when the tomato is tender enough add carrots, potatoes, peas, salt and pepper. Add enough water to cover the vegetables. When the water comes to a boil, cover and simmer the heat. Cook until all the vegetables are tender and mushy, around 25-30 minutes. Mix them well and transfer it to a serving bowl. Your Carrot Potato Pea salad is now ready.
Garnish with chopped parsley/ coriander and serve with roti, nan bread, tortillas or simple bread. It can also be served as a side dish. Enjoy!
