Easy Dinner Meals- Cumin Infused Peas

This quick recipe uses a few basic spices to jazz up fresh peas – and is versatile enough to be served hot, chilled or at room temperature.  If you cannot get hold of fresh peas, frozen ones provide a good alternative.

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

½ teaspoon brown mustard seeds

1 teaspoon ground cumin

½ teaspoon ground coriander

¼ teaspoon chili powder

2 cups shelled peas, thawed if frozen

¼ teaspoon turmeric

1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

¼ teaspoon salt

  • Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat.  Insert the mustard seeds and fry, and stir, 30 seconds, or until they splutter.  Examine carefully so they do not burn.
  • Stir in the cumin, coriander, chili powder, turmeric, salt, and peas and continue frying 2 minutes longer
  • Sprinkle the lemon juice and 2 tablespoons water over the peas.  Continue cooking 1 minute longer, or until the peas are tender. Pack warm in a heated lunch tote for a hot lunch on the go.
