Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Green peas
- 1 large Onion
- 1 large Tomato
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 inch piece Ginger
- 1 medium Green chili
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 500 milliliters Vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon Oil (preferably olive or canola)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro
Instructions
Finely chop the onion, tomato, garlic, and ginger. Slit the green chili and set all aside.
Heat 1 teaspoon of oil in a large pan over medium heat. Once hot, add cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds until aromatic.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, around 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the garlic, ginger, and green chili. Cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the chopped tomato, turmeric powder, coriander powder, and red chili powder. Cook until the tomatoes soften and the oil starts to separate from the mixture, about 4-5 minutes.
Stir in the green peas, mixing well to coat them with the spice mixture.
Add the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let cook for 10 minutes or until the peas are tender.
Uncover the pan, add garam masala, and salt. Stir well and cook for another 2 minutes.
Turn off the heat, add lemon juice, and give a final mix.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve hot.
