A nice spicy side dish for curries and other Indian dishes! Can easily be part of a Western meal- serve with steaks and a potato dish for an interesting change of pace.

SERVES 5 -6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 medium onion, grated
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon cumin seed
1 (16 ounce) package frozen green peas, thawed
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
1/4-1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
1 tablespoon ground coriander
1/2-3/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons water
3/4 teaspoon garam masala

Directions

1
Heat oil in saute pan over medium heat and cook cumin seed until they sizzle and fragrance is released.
2
Add onion and cook until tender; then stir in peas, turmeric, cayenne, coriander, salt, and water, mixing well.
3
Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
4
Stir in garam masala and cook for a few minutes more, until liquid evaporates, stirring occasionally.
5
Serve with other dishes such as dal, and curries; have some steamed basmati rice, a crisp salad, a selection of warm breads, and an herb plate available.

Enjoy!

Had this origianlly as a side with curried dal and basmati, but I ended up stirring it all together. Regardless, it was a delicious and wonderful addition to my Indian meal.

I don't even like peas but this was awesome! I didn't have garam masala on hand so I improvised some using a recipe on the site (minus the cardamom, which, sadly, I don't have). Also, I couldn't find my cayenne (GRR!), so I used chili powder. I can only imagine what these peas will taste like with these two ingredients. I will definitely be making this again and again.

Had this for lunch today. I like it because its low calorie. Its very easy to make as well, hence, its a nice side dish to have when time is not on your side I garnished it with cilantro before serving and had it with bread. Thanks for sharing it. I'm used to having peas as a curry, this was the first time I had it as a dry sabzi. Thanks.

This was a nice side dish to my Indian meal last weekend. I felt that it was missing some flavor, but I can't put my finger on what that might be. I never feel that way about your recipes, Sue, so maybe it's just me. I will make it again sometime, since I love peas and I love Indian food.
