Ingredients

For the pie filling:

  • 2 cups of potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 cup of green peas
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon of ginger, grated
  • 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds
  • 1 teaspoon of garam masala
  • 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric powder
  • Salt, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons of fresh coriander, chopped
  • 1 package of pie crust (store-bought or homemade)

For the minted yogurt:

  • 1 cup of plain yogurt
  • 1/4 cup of fresh mint leaves, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
  • Salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Start by boiling the diced potatoes until tender, then drain and set aside.
  2. In a pan, heat a little oil and sauté the onions until translucent. Add the garlic, ginger, and cumin seeds; cook for another minute.
  3. Stir in the boiled potatoes, green peas, garam masala, turmeric powder, and salt. Mix well and cook for about 5 minutes. Finally, add fresh coriander and remove from heat.
  4. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the pie crust and place it in a pie dish, leaving some overhang around the edges.
  5. Fill the crust with the potato-pea mixture and cover with another layer of pie crust, sealing the edges by crimping them together. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
  6. Bake the pie in the preheated oven for about 30–35 minutes, or until golden brown.
  7. While the pie is baking, prepare the minted yogurt by mixing the yogurt, chopped mint, lemon juice, and salt in a bowl. Set aside.
  8. Once done, let the pie cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm, alongside the minted yogurt for dipping.
