Ingredients

• 300 grams Green peas
• 1 large Onion
• 1 large Tomato
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves
• 1 inch piece Ginger
• 1 medium Green chili
• 0.5 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 500 milliliters Vegetable broth
• 1 teaspoon Oil (preferably olive or canola)
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Finely chop the onion, tomato, garlic, and ginger. Slit the green chili and set all aside.

Step 2

Heat 1 teaspoon of oil in a large pan over medium heat. Once hot, add cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds until aromatic.

Step 3

Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, around 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the garlic, ginger, and green chili. Cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the chopped tomato, turmeric powder, coriander powder, and red chili powder. Cook until the tomatoes soften and the oil starts to separate from the mixture, about 4-5 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the green peas, mixing well to coat them with the spice mixture.

Step 7

Add the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let cook for 10 minutes or until the peas are tender.

Step 8

Uncover the pan, add garam masala, and salt. Stir well and cook for another 2 minutes.

Step 9

Turn off the heat, add lemon juice, and give a final mix.

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve hot.
