1/2 cup chopped tomato
1 serrano pepper , seeded, membranes removed, minced (see Note)

1 cup frozen green peas
1 large russet potato (about 1/2 pound), peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric

Heat ghee in a large, nonstick pan over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring, until lightly brown, about 8 minutes. Add garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add tomato, serrano pepper, carrots, peas, potato, turmeric, coriander, cumin, fenugreek, chili powder, and salt, and cook, stirring, for about 5 minutes.
Reduce heat to low, cover, and let vegetables steam in their own juices until potatoes are fork tender, about 25 minutes. Stir about halfway through cooking time, and make sure the pan isn’t too dry.
