Chop onion, green chillies, coriander leaves, curry leaves into small pieces as shown in the picture below.

Put potatoes, soaked green peas, chopped vegetables in different containers in a pressure cooker, add required amount of water, salt and cook.(3 whistles). Once the pressure goes off, immediately take off the potatoes from the cooker, keep them aside and drain the excess water from other two containers. Once it comes to room temperature remove the outer cover of potatoes and mash them as shown in the picture below. Squeeze the cooked vegetables and remove the extra water content.

Put 2-3 tsp oil in a thick bottomed vessel/pan and heat. Add ginger garlic paste and fry them for about 1-2 mins in low flame.
