Maunika Gowardhan’s recipes for Indian pea curries | Indian food and drink

R.It is the sweetness of fresh green peas that works well with curry and Indian spices, and June is the month to make the most of them, because they are now at their peak. Even the empty pods have a lot of flavor and sweetness, which makes them ideal for a quick salad on the side (throw raw, intermittent, or even retinal centuries with chopped tomatoes, cut onions and coriander, and spray on some fresh mint and spray in Masala). Run the fresh peas without any spices before you make curry, then add it to the entrenched broth near the end. You can switch it to frozen peas, too, if you like.
