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

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
