Ingredients
- 4 Carrots
- 2 Cups Peas
- 1 tablespoon Ghee
- ¼ teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 Small Onion (5 Oz)
- 1 Small Tomato (4 to 5 Oz)
- 2 Green chili
- ¼ teaspoon Turmeric powder
- ¼ teaspoon Cumin powder
- ¼ teaspoon Coriander powder
- ¼ teaspoon Chili powder
- Salt to taste
- Finely chopped cilantro leaves
Instructions
- Peel and dice the carrots into small, even pieces. If using fresh peas, shell them and keep them ready.
- Heat oil or ghee in a pan over medium heat. If you're using mustard oil, let it heat until it begins to smoke slightly, then reduce the heat. Add cumin seeds, and let it sizzle.
- Using a blender, blend the onion, tomato and green chili. You can also simultaneously very finely chop these.
- Add it to the pan and stir it around to cook until the raw aroma of onion and tomato is gone.
- Sprinkle all the spice powder and stir it around. Cook the spices for a few minutes. If the spices stick to the bottom of the pan, sprinkle a little water and cook the spices.
- Add the diced carrots and green peas to the pan. Mix well to coat the vegetables with the tempered spices.
- Pour a little hot water. Cover the pan with a lid and cook on low to medium heat for 8–10 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking. Check if the carrots are tender. If needed, add a splash of water to help the vegetables cook without drying out.
- Once the vegetables are cooked through, garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves for a burst of freshness and color.Serve warm
