- Step 3
Add the tomatoes and peas and cook until peas are heated through and tomatoes have given up their juices.

When the tiny new potatoes are cooked, drain and cut them in half or quarters and add to vegetables. Season with salt, if desired, and pepper. Stir to coat and serve with yogurt on the side.

Delicious. For the tomatoes, I used halved cherry tomatoes. For the peas, a package of thawed frozen peas. I added a little water in Step 3 because the mixture seemed dry.
I made this without added salt and no-salt canned tomatoes since I didn't have fresh and used jarred pre-ground spices instead of freshly ground because I was lazy, and it was still good, so I'm sure it would have been great with salt, fresh tomatoes, and freshly ground spices. I also subbed serrano for jalapeno because I prefer it. It was easy and made more than I expected.
Made this for the first time last night, and it was so good and easy, making it again tonight. Put in a little more jalapeño then called for, for some excitement.
