Method

1. Place the coriander seeds, fennel seeds and mustard seeds in a dry pan and heat gently until they are lightly roasted and aromatic. Pour into a pestle and mortar and ground.

Add the onion, turn the heat down low and cook for 15 minutes or until the onions are soft and beginning to take on a golden brown colour.
3. Add the potatoes, tomatoes and water then cover and cook for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
4. Add the peas and cook for a further 15 minutes. Stir in the yoghurt and coriander leaves then season and serve with warmed naan bread.
