Ingredients
- 2 cups green peas
- 1 medium, chopped onion
- 1 large, chopped tomato
- 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon garam masala
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 1.5 cups water

Instructions
Heat 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and sauté for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the chopped tomatoes to the pan and cook until they break down and form a thick mixture, about 5 minutes.
Lower the heat slightly and add the coriander powder, cumin powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Stir well to combine the spices with the tomato-onion mixture.
Add the green peas and water, then stir well to combine.
Cover the pan with a lid and let the curry simmer on low heat for 10-12 minutes, or until the peas are tender and cooked through.
Stir in the garam masala and allow the curry to simmer for an additional 2 minutes.
Remove from heat, and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
Serve hot with steamed rice or whole-grain bread for a complete meal.
