Peel the potatoes and ice them as evenly as you can. Heat the butter and, when it is warm, add the spices. Let them simmer for 2 or 3 minutes, then add the potatoes and immediately stir them around and turn them over until they all seem evenly coated with butter and spices. Continue this process for about 5 or 10 minutes more, so that some of the potato cubes are a little crisped.

Add 2 cups of water, lower the heat, and simmer slowly for about 1/2 hour, giving an occasional, gentle stir. The potatoes should be tender by this time. Now add the yogurt and the green peas, and heat it all up together for another 5 minutes or so, and serve.
