Plant-based flavor

January 29, 2017 By Tina Dawson

Peas Masala

Created by Tina Dawson on January 29, 2017

  • Prep Time:5m
  • Cook Time:30m
  • Total Time:30m
  • Serves: 2
  • Yield: About 3 cups

Ingredients

To cook the peas

  • 1 c dried green peas (green vatana)
  • 2 c water to soak + cook
  • Salt to taste

For the curry

  • 1 tsp. oil
  • 1/4 cinnamon stick
  • 1 small bay leaf
  • 1/2 c onion, chopped
  • 1 inch ginger, grated
  • 2 cloves of garlic, grated
  • 1 c tomato, chopped
  • 1/4 tsp. turmeric powder
  • 1 tsp. (heaped) red chilli powder
  • 1/2 tsp. garam masala
  • 1/2 c water (as needed)
  • a handful of fresh coriander, chopped

Optional garnish

  • 1/2 lemon, sliced
  • 1/4 c onions, chopped

Instructions

  1. Soak the dried green peas overnight. Pressure cook the soaked peas in the water it soaked in with 1/4 tsp salt until soft.
  2. Heat oil in a pan and once warm, add cinnamon stick and bay leaf.
  3. Then add the chopped onion, grated ginger+garlic and a pinch of salt. Sauté until the onions are soft.
  4. Add the powdered spices (turmeric, red chilli powder, garam masala) and cook for a minute until fragrant.
  5. Stir in the chopped tomatoes, cover and cook over medium heat until the tomatoes are soft and can be mashed to a pulp with a spoon.
  6. Add the cooked green peas + cooking liquid. Add more water to make the curry as runny as you prefer. Cover and let it come to a rolling boil.
  7. Remove from heat, garnish with freshly chopped cilantro. Optionally, just before serving, top with a little chopped onion (for crunch) and a quick squeeze of lemon juice.
  8. Serve hot!
