Potatoes and Green Peas with Cumin (Sukhe Aloo Mattar)

This is the first recipe I've tried for this book and we were very pleased. It was very easy and very tasty. I thought it was a trifle salty, but my husband thought it was fine. (He usually likes a bit more salt than I do.)

I was a bit short on the potatoes (1# instead of 1-1/4#), but otherwise made a full recipe. The two of us ate all of it as part of a simple meal with fish. I'd guess it serves 3-4 (rather than 6-8) in a bigger meal, with all the potatoes.

I did reduce the cayenne from 3/4 tsp to 1/2 tsp, but that's probably not necessary, especially if there were more potatoes.

Except for the potatoes, these are ingredients that are always in-house, so it's a nice recipe to have available.
