Ingredients for Anytime Two Step Green Pea Curry

  • Onion
  • Garlic Cloves

  • Yogurt

How to Make Anytime Two Step Green Pea Curry

  1. **Prepare the Puree:** Combine 1 large onion, 2 cloves garlic, 1 inch ginger, and 1-2 green chilies (adjust to your spice preference) in a blender or food processor. Add 1/2 cup water and blend until smooth.
  2. **Sauté Aromatics:** Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a pot or pan over medium heat. Add the onion-ginger-garlic puree and 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder, 1/2 teaspoon of cumin powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of chili powder (or more, to taste).
  3. **Cook the Spices:** Sauté for 7-8 minutes, stirring frequently, until the raw smell of the spices is gone and the oil starts to separate slightly.
  4. **Add Peas:** Stir in 1 cup of frozen green peas.
  5. **Simmer the Curry:** Add 1/2 cup of water or vegetable broth, bring to a simmer, cover, and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the peas are tender.
  6. **Serve and Enjoy:** Garnish with fresh cilantro (optional) and serve hot with steamed rice, pasta, naan bread, or pita bread.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
