Aloo Matar Sabzi

(Potato and peas curry)
A very simple but yummy entree. This is for a (Gora) colleague at work who likes to be adventurous in his kitchen. So he's making an entire Indian meal for his friends. He calls himself Asian! This will be spicy as per my colleague's taste! Skip the green chilies or add less red chillies to make it mild-medium.

2-3 tomatoes
1-2 onions
2 teaspoon garlic paste
