Ingredients
- 2 cups green peas
- 10 medium button mushrooms
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 3 units garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 2 teaspoons curry powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 0.5 cup coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 0.25 cup water
Directions
Step 1
Prepare the ingredients: Slice the mushrooms into thin pieces, finely chop the onion, mince the garlic, and grate the ginger.
Step 2
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or pan over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and toast them for about 30 seconds until they become aromatic.
Step 3
Add the chopped onion to the pan and sauté until golden-brown, about 5 minutes.
Step 4
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 5
Reduce the heat slightly and add the curry powder and turmeric, stirring constantly to toast the spices for about 30 seconds.
Step 6
Toss in the sliced mushrooms, stirring to coat them in the spice mixture. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the mushrooms release their moisture and begin to caramelize.
Step 7
Add the green peas to the pan, along with the water. Cover and let the peas cook for 3-4 minutes until tender, stirring occasionally.
Step 8
Pour in the coconut milk, and season with salt and black pepper. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Step 9
Remove the pan from heat and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro.
Step 10
Serve immediately as a side dish or over steamed rice for a complete meal.
