Peal and then boil 5 potatoes until cooked. Skin and boil 5 potatoes. Then add olive oil to a hot pan. When it starts getting hot - add cumin seeds (good for the digestive system), cloves and then grate and add the tomatoes. Let this cook on medium heat. Add the turmeric powder, salt, tomato paste, one glass of water and the almond meal. Then add the pre-boiled potatoes to this mix and one more glass of water. Put the lid on and let it cook for 5 minutes. Add the peas, coriander powder and fresh coriander and put the lid back on. Optional: Add a teaspoon of chilli powder or garam masala if you want it to be spicier. Turn off the heat. Add a cup of yoghurt or a dash or cream if you want to make it milder, or squeeze the juice of a lime into it.
