I am an American married to a South Indian. I love the delicious food that my mother-in-law makes, but I can never seem to get my hands on any authentic South Indian recipes. This blog is simply a collection of dishes I have learned by watching Ammachi ("grandma") in the kitchen. From the heart of our home to yours, I hope you enjoy them as much as we do!

Green Pea Curry

Green peas are not my favorite vegetable.  But this is one dish I love with them!  There is a fullness of flavor, which the peas soak up beautifully, without being hot'n'spicy.  Great with chappati.  




Ingredients
3 Tbsp oil
1 Tbsp mustard seeds
1/4 onion, minced
1 inch piece of ginger root, minced
3 Tbsp ground coriander
2 Tbsp chili powder
1 Tbsp garlic powder
1/2 Tbsp garam masala
1 package frozen peas, thawed
2 tomatoes, chopped
1 1/2 cups water
2 Tbsp mayonaise
Salt to taste

1.  Heat oil in large saucepan; add mustard seeds.  When seeds start to pop, add onion and ginger; saute until browned.

2.  Add coriander, chili powder, garlic powder, garam masala, peas, tomatoes, and water.  Bring to boil; simmer until 1/2 the water is evaporated (about 10 - 15 mins).

3.  Add mayo and salt; simmer until heated through.

Serve with hot chappati/tortillas.
