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.
You can carry your easy dinner meal in a heated meal tote.
