Jeev Batana Bhuthi (Green Peas Curry)


Jeev Batana Bhuthi - Literal translation is fresh peas curry, is a dish that goes well with Rice or chappathi. Its my all time favourite !!

Ingredients:
Green Peas - 2 cups
Coconut - 3/4th cup
Red Chillies - 4
Corriander seeds - 2tsps
Tamarind - a pinch
Onions - 3
Mustard seeds - 1 tsp
Oil - 2tbspns

Method:

1. Roast red chillies in a little oil. Then grind together coconut, tamarind, Red chillies, corriander seeds to a fine paste.

2. In a pan add oil & add mustard seeds, when it splutters, ass the finely chopped onions & fry till transparent.

3. Then add the ground masala & saute for few minutes. Now add the peas, add little water & salt & let it simmer for 10 minutes till you get desired consistency.

Serve hot!! You can make this same curry with just onions or even tindora. Comes out great.

That's really easy Seema and the coconut must make it really creamy and yummy.

Kribha said...

Recipe sounds like kurma ,but I noticed the variation of using tamarind in this. Maybe that's why u didn't use tomatoes. Looks yum.

Richa said...

TBC said...

That looks good , Seema. Maybe I will try it out with tindora 'cos I don't like peas a lot:-)

Seema said...

Asha- Thanks.It tastes good!

Laav- Coconut & Corriander mixtures brings out a great flovour.

Kribha-This is a Konkani recipe Kribha...Tamarind just a tiny pinch.. even if u leave it no big deal.

Richa - Do try.. it's Yum!

TBC- Tindora comes out excellent too - just chop them & fry a little till 50% cooked & then add masala.

Ok, I'm a general peas freak and am totally sold on this recipe. In fact, the gravy looks like something that would go well with a lot of different veggies!
