Good, but I'm going to use only three potatoes next time. That's just my taste though.

Very straightforward to make and a big success with my husband (which surprised me!). I couldn't find ginger garlic paste, so I just used diced garlic instead, and this worked fine. I added about 1/2 cup more tomato paste.

very good, but lacks a bit of flavor. I added more of every spice to make it more tasty. it also needed more salt. It became soo thick and heavy, so the next day, I mixed it in with cooked pasta, and added some of the pasta water to loosen it up a bit. Now the kids like it more. All in all, it's good if we make the right modifications.

I thought it was good, but it really needing some spicing up. Only 1 1/2 tsp of garam masala? I probably used at least 2 TBS just in order to taste it. I used chopped garlic and ginger, worked fine. I pre-cooked the potatoes in a large pot with garlic, salt and pepper. And sauteed the onions/garlic separately, then mixed together when the potatoes were about done (about 20 mins). I also used a small can of tomato paste, and topped it off with some V8 juice (about 2 cups)... it made it nice and creamy. Added fresh tomatoes and lots of peas... some dried chili flakes. Served it over garlic-tasted pita... delish!

I made a few modifications, but it turned out to be delicious. I used a combination of fresh ginger and garlic for the garlic ginger paste. I also couldn't find the darn garam masala at the store, so I made my own mixture of cloves, cinnamon, cumin, ground mustard and tumeric (mostly tumeric). I added water to the potatoes to help them along and added the peas when adding the tomatoes, etc. I'm eating it right now, and it tastes fabulous.

Loved this recipe! We used spicy Hungarian paprika, so I reduced it by 1/2 tsp and we added 1/2 cup more peas after reading some of the other reviews. It turned out fantastic! I think a lot of how this turns out has to do with the ginger garlic paste. We used 'Patak's Original' brand 'Spicy Ginger & Garlic Marianade & Grill Sauce Tandoori Mild'. If you are from areas where you have HEB Central Market stores - that is where we found our's. We also use it in the Chicken Makhani (Indian Butter Chicken) recipe from this site and it is just fabulous!

Supprized - I really don't like curry and I dreaded the idea of having a dish with no meat; but for something that I found via searching for the only ingrediants I had at hand the other day it turned out to be a big hit! I added more peas and used diced tomatoes and a bit of tomato paste to thiken it up. I overcooked the potatoes when I boiled them first (on purpose as was in a hurry)so the sause ended up having a really nice thick texture to it. Was a wonderful last minute meal.

Not particularly authentic Indian, but delicious as a side dish and very good over rice. I also added some peas to round it out.

Great recipe...I tend to change things alot though: I only used 2 potatoes, and an entire large bag of frozen peas. Also doubled or even tripled spices. Rather than sugar I used about a tsp. each of cinnamon and cloves, and rather than paprika, I used curry and chili powder to spice it up a bit. To reduce fat, I only used about a tsp. of oil and that worked just fine. Using crused or diced tomatoes rather than puree adds some moisture to the sauce to pour over rice or dip Naan into.

Pretty good. Has a nice flavor. Note that this dish generates enough sauce to cover the potatoes and peas, but not enough to mix the result in with rice. It also took a lot of work to get the potatoes cooked correctly (despite the other reviewers' advice). First, at the beginning instead of cooking the potatoes covered for 15 minutes with the peas, I cooked the potatoes covered for 15 minutes alone and added the peas and cooked for five more minutes. Throughout the recipe I kept a little water at the bottom of the pan to help steam the potatoes and prevent burning. Yet, despite this, the potatoes were still undercooked at the end of the recipe; I needed to cook, covered, an additional ten minutes to finish them. But because of this, the peas ended up somewhat flat and overcooked. Next time I'll either boil the potatoes for a little while before starting, or cook the potatoes alone until they're basically done and then add the peas and continue with the recipe. I used one tablespoon of ground ginger and one tablespoon of garlic powder instead of the ginger-garlic paste. I used two teaspoons of dried cilantro flakes (instead of two tablespoons of chopped fresh); supposedly that's the appropriate ratio.

This was just okay for me. My husband really like it though. It was a little too tangy-I prefer some heat in my Indian dishes. I much prefer Aloo Phujia from this site because it is a lot spicier.

My 2 year old son loved this so much! I substituted and changed things around a little, and it was still awesome - and very, very easy. We served it with a very simply whole-wheat roti (another family favorite here).

Not bad, but bland. This could have definitely used some more spices. Furthermore, the potatoes came out under cooked. I would maybe parboil them if you are going to try this recipe.
