1
Heat up 2 teaspoons of oil in a pan. Sauté the fresh green peas on high for 2 minutes.
2
Cover and cook on medium heat until the peas are soft enough to mash. Remove from heat and mash them coarsely.
3
In a separate pan, heat up 2 tablespoons of oil. Add the Moong dal wadi and fry until they change to a light golden color and give off a fragrant aroma. Remove and set them aside.
4
In the same oil, crackle the cumin seeds before adding the finely chopped onions. Sauté until the onions turn soft and pink.
5
To this onion mixture, add the garlic and ginger pastes along with the green chili paste. Stir and cook for around a minute until the raw smell evaporates.
6
Add in the diced tomatoes, turmeric, freshly cracked black pepper, and the lightly fried wadis. Sauté until the tomatoes are soft and the flavors meld together.
7
Now, mix in the coarsely mashed peas and salt. Adjust the consistency of the curry by adding water as needed.
8
Bring the curry to a boil, then reduce the heat and allow it to simmer for 5-6 minutes.
9
Lastly, stir in the garam masala powder and the finely chopped coriander leaves. Cook for another minute. Your Peas in Spiced Curry is now ready to enjoy. Serving suggestion: chapatis, parathas or rice.
