SOORNU-BATANI GHASHI / YAM & GREEN PEAS IN COCONUT BASED GRAVY !!!!!


This is my son's most favourite amchi dish prepared by me. We use little jeera while grinding masala in this dish. And please don't use fresh/frozen green peas, use only green peas soaked in water at least for 8 hrs  or you can soak green peas in hot water for 5 hrs. You can use potato/Chinese potato/raw jack fruit/bread fruit instead of yam here. 

INGREDIENTS:-

green peas - 1 cup
yam, cubed - 15 pieces
salt to taste

Ground to a fine paste:-

coconut, grated - 1 cup
red chilly - 6
jeera/cumin seeds - 1/2 tsp
tamarind - big chana size
turmeric pow - 1/4 tsp

For tempering:-

curry leaves - 4-5 strands
mustard seeds - 1/2 tsp
oil - 2 tsp

METHOD:-

1. Soak green peas in water previous night. Next day pressure cook soaked green peas+cubed yam pieces for 2 whistles & keep it aside.
2. Grind all ingredients mentioned under "ground to a smooth paste" to a smooth paste.
3. Add this masala to cooked green peas & yam & add salt & mix well & bring it to a boil.
4. In a tadka pan\, heat 2tsp oil & add mustard seeds to it. When it starts splutters add curry leaves & fry for a while (till curry leaves changes its colour) & add it to the curry & close lid & switch off the stove.
