Heat a tablespoon of oil in a pressure cooker. Once hot, add the cumin seeds, curry leaves, asafoetida, green chilli, and a portion of the coriander leaves.

Add the diced potatoes and green peas to the cooker. Mix well.
5
Add salt to taste and the pieces of jaggery (optional for sweetness). Pour in one to one-and-a-half cups of water.
6
Secure the lid and cook for one whistle on high flame, followed by three whistles on a low flame.
7
Allow the pressure to release naturally. Once opened, stir the curry and garnish with fresh coriander leaves before serving.
