Mutter Masala(Green Peas)

Another favorite Indian vegetable in my house is Green Peas Subji.  While my son loves paneer and peas, my daughter does not.  I decided to make this dish because my friend was visiting and her kids also love this dish.

Ingredients:
1 large onion, chopped
11/2 C frozen green peas
1/2 C canned tomato sauce
1/2 inch fresh ginger, grated
1-2 green chili, slit(optional)
1/2 inch cinnamon
2 cloves
1/4 t turmeric powder
1 t chili powder,or as required
1/2 C coconut milk
cilantro to garnish

Method:
1. Heat oil in a pan to medium heat.  Add cinnamon and clove.  Add chili and ginger.  Stir in the onion, and cook till it is translucent.
2. When the onion is done, add turmeric powder and chili powder.  Stir in the tomato sauce. Cook for  5 minutes.  Stir in the green peas.  Add water as required.  Cover and cook on medium low heat for 10 minutes. 
3. Stir in the coconut milk. Cook for 2 minutes.  Remove from stove and garnish with cilantro.  Serve with roti or naan.

Variations:
You can substitute light cream or sour cream for coconut milk.
Paneer cubes can be added after the peas are cooked.
