Greenpeas veggie/WataNa UsaL

As winter starts moving in, green peas also start sneaking in almost of all homes  in India. Here we get two varieties,delhi watana (peas) and gavathi watana -a local variety. Latter is smaller in size and has a sweet taste..
I am sharing here a simple recipe, yet very very tasty. It's a veggie,which can be eaten at lunch with roti/chapati. DaLichi AamTi, steamed rice, green peas veggie and roasted papad is a fantastic combination.

Ingredients
2 cups of fresh peas
1/4 cup fresh grated coconut
salt to taste

Tempering
1 tsp oil
1/2 tsp mustard seeds
1/2 tsp asafoetida( slightly more than usual)
4-5 curry leaves
1/2 tsp turmeric powder

Garnishing
chopped coriander leaves


Method

• Peel off the peas from the shell and soak them in water with a tsp of salt.
• Heat oil in a kadai and add tempering ingredients one by one.
• Add peas and grated coconut.Cover with water on the lid.( Don't put water inside)
• Reduce the flame. Cook till soft.
• Add salt. Garnish with chopped coriander.
