I do this kuruma in many ways. One method which I do commonly is here. This method can be done with other varieties of peas like kidney beans, white beans, etc..

Method:

• Wash the green peas and cook it with enough water seperately.
• Grind onion, grated coconut and cumin seeds into fine paste.
• Heat oil in pan and add the cinnamon and cloves.
• Add the paste and fry it for 2-3 minutes.
• Add the turmeric powder, chilli powder, coriander powder and salt to the paste.
• Add little water and then allow it to cook well with the lid closed.
• When the masala is ready, add the cooked peas to it and allow it to boil for 2 minutes.
• A perfect side dish for all kind of rices and chappathi.

Tip: Add 1 tomato if desired, which gives a different taste.
