BATANI AMBAT.. Konkani curry

The green peas in the freezer was awaiting my use for couple of weeks.. i can never use green peas when SH is in town.. he hates the fact that i use em in anything n everything except sambar, rasam n kuzhambu..

The moment SH left for his early morning flight around 4 am just rushed up picked the green peas pkt n started to make this simple n yummy curry (mixie running around 4 am and my neighbor did ask me did u sleep last nite?? )which i had for breakfast for dosa and for lunch with rice n for dinner planning to make some phulkas..

A simple Konkani curry in heavenly coconut milk and red chilli paste makes a perfect side for indian bread as well as for rice. Loved this recipe and i enjoyed it thoroughly... 

What you need:
Green Peas - 1 cup
Potato - 1 no, cubed and boiled
Coconut - 1 cup, grated
Red chillies - 8 nos
Onion - 1 no, sliced
Tamarind - 1/2 tsp
Olive oil - 1 tsp
Salt as reqd

How to make:

Heat oil in a pan add onions, saute till they turn brown reserve half and add coconut mixture, salt and cook for 3 mins now add boiled potatoes cook in simmer until the gravy comes to boil. 

Now add green peas and cook for another 2 mins switch it off and add fried onions and chopped coriander and serve hot with plain rice..
