Recipes: Corn, Peas and Peanut Curry

Some weeks back, I had to make a sabzi for lunch, but was not in a mood to cook and also had nothing really likeable in the fridge. So I decided to raid my freezer and see what I can come up with and this curry was the result. This took me about 30 minutes in total to make, including about 20-25 minutes of soaking time with the actual curry taking less than 10 minutes to make. It was quite delicious to eat.

Corn, Peas and Peanut Curry

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup frozen green peas
  • 1 cup frozen yellow corn
  • ½ cup raw peanuts
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • 2 tsp oil
  • 1 tsp lemon juice (optional)
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Method:

  • Soak the corn, peas, and peanuts in a bowl with hot water for at least 30 minutes.
  • Salt the water, cook the vegetables and peanuts on the stovetop or microwave for 5 minutes, and drain.
  • Heat the oil in a pan, and when the oil heats up, add the cumin seeds and let them pop.
  • Once the cumin pops, add in the drained vegetables and stir well.
  • Season with salt and pepper and let it cook covered on a low to medium flame for 5 minutes.
  • Switch off the gas, drizzle lemon juice if using, and serve hot with rice or rotis.
