Method:
Gently heat oil in a pan. Add the cloves and cinnamon stick. When they start sizzling, turn flame to low & add the mustard seeds and cover the pan as they will pop. When the popping dies down add the cumin seeds, curry leaves, green chilli, garlic and ginger. Give them a stir and mix in the onion.
Add turmeric and garam masala and fry for 2-3 minutes until the onions turn translucent Add the carrots and peas. Finally, stir in the potatoes, add salt to taste and squeeze in the lemon juice.

Once it’s done let it cool down and mash it up a bit if you will use it to fill pastries. Otherwise, it is ready to eat.
