Ingredients

1 cup Green peas
¼ teaspoon ginger
¼ teaspoon garlic
1 tomato
1 onion
1 teaspoon coriander
1 teaspoon chilli powder
¼ teaspoon turmeric
½ tablespoon garam masala
as required salt
pinch Aniseed a
3 clove

Instructions

Soak green peas in water overnight. Enough water to submerge it and a little more.
Pressure-cook the green peas for one whistle and bring the heat down right after. Do not open the lid. Allow it to cook with the residual heat.
While that’s pressure-cooking heat coconut oil and add aniseeds and cloves and roast slightly. To it add ginger, garlic & onion and salt and sweat it out. Close the lid when doing.
Reduce the heat a bit and add coriander powder, chili powder, turmeric powder, and garam masala, and roast. Once it browns, add the sliced tomato. Close the lid and allow it to cook, occasionally stirring it.
Now add the cooked green peas to, with enough residual water to form the gravy.
Bring that to a boil, add more salt as required, and you are done.

Notes

Use real dried peas, not frozen ones.

Soak dried green peas overnight for best results.

Pressure cook until soft but not mushy.

Mash a small portion of cooked peas into the curry if you want a thicker gravy.

Add fresh coriander leaves at the end for extra flavor.

Finish with a pinch of fennel powder for a restaurant-style touch.
