Sri Lankan Cashew and Green Peas Curry

written by Amila Gamage Wickramarachchi December 16, 2011

 

Cashew & Green pea curry is a delicious dish from Sri Lanka & it is a must have curry in a festive table.
Here is my try of making it.
Ingredients: (for 3-4 servings)

Cashew 1 cup (soaked for about 1 hr)
Green peas ½ cup (soaked for few hours)
1 green chili sliced lengthwise
1 onion sliced
1 sprig curry leaves
1inch piece pandan leaf/(rampa)
1 tsp chili powder
¼ tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp curry powder
1 tsp mustard seed
1 tsp fenugreek seeds
Piece of cinnamon
Salt to taste
1-2 tbspn cooking oil
1 cup thick coconut milk
Method
For the recipe we need soaked cashew & green peas.
Tip: add about ½ tsp baking powder to the water when soaking. Cashew, peas will be softer.
After soaking, wash cashew & peas & keep aside.
Heat oil in a pan.
Once it is hot,add mustard seeds.
When it is pop up,add onion & curry leaves. Sauté for few seconds until onion become tender.
Then add cashew & green peas together with other spices.
Mix well.
Add about 1 cup water & allow cooking. Add some water if required.
Once it is cooked add thick coconut milk. Stir well.Allow to simmer.

I’ve seen green peas used a lot as an accent to curry dishes but never as the main ingredient. Combined with the cashews and all those wonderful spices this dish is a MUST to try! Thanks for sharing!

I’d never really thought about what they eat in Sri Lanka.

I love curry (and cashews and peas…) but I don’t think I even have any in my spice rack! I think it’s high time I got some!!

Thanks for the recipe to try – I’m visiting from What’s Cooking Wednesday.

Merry Christmas!
