Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for about 5-6 minutes until golden brown.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for another minute until they release their aroma.
Add the chopped tomato to the pan and cook for another 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes are soft and mushy.
Mix in the coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Cook the spices with the tomato-onion mixture for about 2 minutes.
Add the green peas and stir well to coat them with the spice mixture.
Pour in the water and coconut milk, then bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cover the pan and let it cook for about 10 minutes, or until the peas are tender.
Uncover the pan and sprinkle the garam masala over the curry. Stir well and let it simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Adjust the seasoning with more salt if needed.
Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro before serving.
