Method

  1. Cut the potatoes into 1/4-inch cubes and place them in a pot of cold water.

  2. Stir in salt and bring the pot to a boil over high heat.

  3. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the potato cubes are tender but still hold their shape, which should take about 15 minutes.

  4. Drain the potatoes in a colander and set them aside.

  5. In a skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil and butter.

  6. Add the onion and cook and stir until it becomes softened and translucent, which should take around 5 minutes.

  7. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, garam masala, cumin, coriander, turmeric, and cayenne to create the spice mix.

  8. Add the serrano pepper, garlic, ginger, and the spice mix to the onions. Cook and stir until the mixture is well combined, approximately 2 minutes.

  9. Add the peas to the skillet and cook until they are heated through and slightly tender, around 3 minutes.

  10. Transfer the mixture into a bowl with the cooked potatoes.

  11. Add cilantro and lemon juice to the bowl and mix everything together with a spatula. Some potatoes should be partially mashed.

  12. Add more salt if necessary.
