• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup fresh cilantro
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Finely chop the onion, garlic, and ginger.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds until they begin to release their aroma.

Step 6

Add the vegetarian mince to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes, allowing it to brown slightly.

Step 7

Pour in the tomato puree and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken.

Step 8

Add the green peas and salt, stirring well. Let the curry cook for an additional 5 minutes.

Step 9

Stir in the lemon juice and half of the chopped fresh cilantro, reserving the rest for garnish.
