Green Peas Recipe ★ Chole Saag

This tastes exactly like the dish that I always get at my favorite Indian restaurant. I made it up one day and everyone was shocked. It has quite the mix of ingredients, but they all play a key role in getting the taste and consistency that I was looking for.

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 2 tablespoons curry powder
• 1 (15 ounce) can sweet peas, drained
• 1 (15.5 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained
• 1 (10 ounce) box frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
• 1 (8 ounce) container plain yogurt
• 1 cup chicken broth
• salt and pepper to taste

Cooking Directions

1. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in garlic, onion, red pepper flakes, cumin, and curry powder, and cook until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the drained peas and mash well. Stir in garbanzo beans, spinach, yogurt, and chicken broth. Cook and stir until heated through, then season to taste with salt and pepper before serving.
