Servings 4
Equipment
- 1 Large sautee pan
- Potato masher
- Serving dish
Ingredients
- 4 - 6 cups organic frozen peas thawed
- 1 organic onion finely diced
- 3 organic garlic cloves mashed
- 1 inch organic knob ginger grated
- 1 tsp organic garam masala
- 1 tsp organic cumin powder
- 2 tsp organic pomegranate syrup or use date syrup or maple syrup
- 1 tsp organic yellow curry powder
- ½ tsp organic red chilli flakes can use more if needed
- 1 organic lime juiced
- ½ cup organic cilantro chopped
Instructions
- Water sauté the onions, garlic and ginger. I like to use water or vegetable broth for sautéeing.
- Once the onions become soft and release their water, add in all the spices.
- Cook until well mixed and aromatic.
- Add in the peas (it is important they are thawed, because they will otherwise release a lot of water into the pan).
- Cook the peas down until the flavor from the masala is well-mixed.
- Add the pomegranate syrup (or use another sweetener syrup if you don’t have the pomegranate syrup) and cook until it's thoroughly cooked.
- Once the peas are fully cooked, take a potato masher and mash them well so that the flavor of the masala really seeps into them. You don’t have to mash all the peas. I like them roughly mashed.
- Top with lime juice and garnish with fresh cilantro and serve!
