1

Prepare the base

In a large pan, heat the vegetable oil or ghee over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds.

Sauté onions

Add the finely chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.

3

Add ginger-garlic paste

Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and cook for another 2 minutes until the raw smell disappears.

4

Incorporate tomatoes

Add the pureed tomato and cook until the oil separates from the mixture, about 5-7 minutes.

5

Spice it up

Add turmeric powder, coriander powder, and salt. Mix well and cook for another 2 minutes.

6

Add green peas

Stir in the green peas and mix well with the spice mixture.

7

Make it creamy

Pour in the coconut milk, stir to combine, and let it simmer for about 10 minutes on low heat.

Finish with garam masala

Sprinkle garam masala and stir. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.

9

Garnish and serve

Remove from heat, garnish with fresh chopped cilantro, and serve hot with rice or naan.
