Go Green!!! Yes it is green resolution in my kitchen. Greens are healthy, good to included them frequently in our meal. Out of all the greeens, I have special liking for green peas for one reason, it is easy cook . On days when you think you just have 10 minutes to prepare a side dish, this Pattani Curry will come handy. Great saver curry for your busy days.
Pattani curry goes well with variety rice /kuzhambu / rasam.
One day I would have forgot to add salt to the curry or added more spice other day. Many such kitchen disaster happens. Now a days I started cutting vegetable previous night. Soak tamarind and cook Dal; well I do most of the cooking previous night. It helps a lot for my relaxed (mind voice, sure about this word?) morning. Still there are days when I couldn’t make arrangements previous night. Recently one such day came, I opened the fridge and stood clueless seeing the veggies. Suddenly I heared a knock from my freezer. Frozen peas offered to help me. I don’t know how I forgot my frozen peas sundal. At times I prove, I am a big fan of Actor Surya, he is a famous Tamil actor. In one movie he will have short term memory loss, in my home almost many days I will have that:-) Being a salad fan, if I just boil peas and give him with salt and pepper he will be happy to eat. My taste bud can’t accept it. I decided to add onion and ginger garlic paste, this trio combo always works for me. With some spices the Green peas Curry was ready in no time. Packed his lunch. I started cooking regularly and thought of taking pictures for blog. I got a call from hubby, I loved the green peas curry you gave today, pack it often:-) Protein and fibre rich healthy Green peas Curry started occupying a special places in my kitchen.
