  • Green Peas (frozen/fresh) - 1 cup
  • Red Onion - 1 small - sliced
  • Curry Leaves - 6-8 - roughly chopped
  • Olive oil - 1 teaspoon
  • Mustard seeds - 1 teaspoon
  • Cumin seeds - 1/2 teaspoon
  • Hing / Asafoetida  - 1/4th teaspoon
  • Turmeric powder - 3/4th teaspoon
  • Red chili powder - 1 teaspoon / to taste
  • Salt - to taste
  • Coriander leaves - 1/4th cup - finely chopped

Curry Paste:
  • Coconut (frozen/fresh) - 2 tablespoons
  • Peanuts - 1/2 cup
  • Garlic - 4 large cloves
  • Ginger - 1 inch piece
  • Green Chili - 1 (optional)
Grind all the above ingredients with little water into a fine paste.

  1. Heat the olive oil in a stock pot.
