• 1 cup green peas, fresh or frozen
• 2 teaspoons coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon garam masala
• 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
• 1 tablespoon cooking spray or 1 tablespoon oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Spray a large non-stick pan with cooking spray or add 1 tablespoon of oil and heat it over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes until translucent.

Step 3

Add the minced ginger and garlic to the onions, and cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the finely chopped green chilies and cook for 1 minute.

Step 5

Stir in the chopped tomato and cook until they become soft and mushy, about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Add coriander powder, cumin powder, garam masala, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Stir well to combine the spices with the onion-tomato mixture.

Step 7

Add the lean ground turkey or chicken to the pan. Break it up using a spatula and mix it well with the spices and vegetables.

Step 8

Cook the meat until it is no longer pink, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes.

Step 9

Add the green peas to the meat mixture and cover the pan to let it cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the peas to heat through and soften.
