The preparation of Aloo Mutter involves several steps:<br />

<br />
4. '''Cooking the Vegetables''': Add the cubed potatoes and peas to the pan. Stir well to coat the vegetables with the spice mixture.<br />
<br />
5. '''Simmering''': Add water to the pan, cover, and let it simmer until the potatoes are tender and the peas are cooked through.<br />
<br />
6. '''Finishing Touches''': Sprinkle garam masala and garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.<br />
