A nice spicy side dish for curries and other Indian dishes! Can easily be part of a Western meal- serve with steaks and a potato dish for an interesting change of pace. Ingredients:
1 medium onion, grated |
1 tablespoon vegetable oil |
1/2 teaspoon cumin seed |
1 (16 ounce) package frozen green peas, thawed |
1/4 teaspoon turmeric |
1/4-1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional) |
1 tablespoon ground coriander |
1/2-3/4 teaspoon salt |
2 tablespoons water |
3/4 teaspoon garam masala |
Directions:
1. Heat oil in saute pan over medium heat and cook cumin seed until they sizzle and fragrance is released.
2. Add onion and cook until tender; then stir in peas, turmeric, cayenne, coriander, salt, and water, mixing well.
3. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
4. Stir in garam masala and cook for a few minutes more, until liquid evaporates, stirring occasionally.
5. Serve with other dishes such as dal, and curries; have some steamed basmati rice, a crisp salad, a selection of warm breads, and an herb plate available.
6. Enjoy!
