so this recipe is simple , nutritious n tasty.... and fat free too...........as is my cooking mantra these days......
in retreating winters , when the peas are not soft n sweet and become a little mature, this recipe is the best thing to make...........frozen peas give the same result....
ingredients
green peas fresh or frozen 1 cup
ginger garlic n green chilly paste ( coarse) 3 tbsp
coriander powder 2 tsp
cumin powder 1 tsp
black pepper powder 1 tsp
red chilly powder 1 tsp (optional)
garam masala powder 1 tsp
tomato 1 no
coriander leaves chopped 1/2 cup
salt to taste
procedure
make a coarse paste of peas in your blender........a few of the peas can be left whole..........add salt to it and pour this paste into a pan and start cooking on medium flame...stirring in between....continue for 5-6 minutes....
meanwhile make a paste of tomato in the same blender and put it in the boiling mixture along with the ginger garlic n green chilly pastes........keep cooking n stirring..........for another 5 minutes.....
meanwhile , dry roast the coriander n cumin powders in a pan n throw it into the dal n the black pepper , garam masala n chilly powder too ......cook for a 1 minute n put in the finely chopped coriander leaves , these can be made into a coarse paste too..... it adds more color to the recipe... as i did........cover after adding the coriander paste n take the pan off the flame within a minute ........to preserve the aroma of coriander leaves.........open the pan just at time of serving.......you 'll love this oil free daal which is awesome with brown or white rice......... for me it's good with chapatis as well.........
