Instructions:
- Heat oil in a wok or frying pan on medium heat. When hot, add cumin and allow to sizzle for 1 minute, stir and add onions. Allow onions to cook until they are translucent and start turning golden on the edges. Slit green chilies along the center without breaking. Add to pan, add salt, and stir.
- Add peas, stir fry for 2 minutes, then add the water and cover. Allow to cook on medium heat for 5 minutes covered.
- Uncover and let the water dry.

Critical Ingredients:
However, if you are unable to get green chilies, you can add a quarter teaspoon of ground red chili. If you are using frozen peas instead of fresh, the process is the same. If you don’t have fresh coriander, your peas will still taste great!
