Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Frozen or fresh green peas
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 piece Medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, minced
- 2 medium Tomatoes, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Heat the coconut oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the chopped onion and sauté until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and ginger, and sauté for another minute until both are fragrant.
Add the chopped tomatoes to the pan and cook until they soften and blend into the mixture, approximately 5 minutes.
Sprinkle the coriander powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, and red chili powder over the onion-tomato mixture. Mix well.
Pour in the coconut milk and stir to combine, creating a smooth and creamy sauce.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then add the peas. Mix everything well.
Cover the pan and cook for 10 minutes, allowing the peas to become tender and absorb the flavors.
Season the curry with salt and stir. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Garnish the curry with chopped fresh cilantro and drizzle with lemon juice just before serving.
Serve hot with steamed rice or your choice of bread.
