How to Make Amazing Peas Indian

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
  2. Add 1/4 teaspoon asafoetida, followed immediately by 1 teaspoon mustard seeds and 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds.
  3. Once the mustard seeds begin to pop (about 30 seconds), add 10-12 curry leaves.
  4. Stir for 1 minute, then add 1 cup frozen peas, 1-2 green chilies (finely chopped), 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon sugar, 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder, 1/4 teaspoon garam masala, and 1/4 teaspoon coriander powder.
  5. Stir for 1-2 minutes until the peas are fully defrosted and heated through.
  6. Add 4 tablespoons of water, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low.
  7. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes, or until peas are tender.
  8. Uncover, increase heat to medium-high, stir in 1/4 cup shredded coconut and 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro. Cook for 1-2 minutes to evaporate excess liquid.
