GREEN PEAS MASALA !!!!!!!!


My today's recipe is from GEETH'S DAWATH & she adopted this recipe from JEYASHRI'S KITCHEN. A north Indian gravy that goes well with pulao/rotis. And i used left over gravy for masala puri . In the original recipe she used fresh green peas but i used dried green peas here as i am running out of fresh/frozen green peas. & i used only one cup dried green peas instead of 2 cups frozen/fresh green peas. & i added 1tsp kitchen king masala powder too for extra flavour.

Ingredients:

Green peas(frozen or fresh)-2 cups or 1 cup dried green peas (soaked overnight)
Oil-2 tbsp
Tomato-2
Cashew-12
Curds-2tbsp
Milk-1/2 cup

Kasuri methi-1/2 tsp

Kitchen King Masala - 1 tsp

To be fried and ground:
Onion-3,chopped roughly
Garlic-5 flakes
Tomato-3,chopped roughly
Coriander leaves-handful
Green chilly-4
Oil-2 tsp



Method:

  1. Pressure cook soaked green peas for 2 whistles. & keep aside.
  2. Fry the ingredients mentioned under the list 'to be fried and ground' for 7-8 minutes and then grind it to a fine paste.
  3. Grind the cashew nuts along with the curds to a fine paste.
  4. Heat oil in pan and fry the onion paste for sometime,followed by cashew paste.
  5. Add garam masala powder,tomatoes,salt to taste and the green peas.
  6. Add water and adjust the consistency,take boil,add milk and simmer for few minutes.
  7. Lastly add kasuri methi and serve it hot.
  8. If using frozen green peas add directly,if using fresh ones or dried ones cook it and add.
