About Chaunka Matar (Stir Fried Green Peas)
Chaunka Matar (Chuki Hui Matar) is a UP-style winter snack or breakfast where fresh tender green peas are sautéed with ginger, green chilies, and a few more simple ingredients. It is healthy, filling, and gets ready in under 20 minutes. It is best served as breakfast or an evening snack with a hot masala chai or coffee. Ghee – This stir fry tastes the best when made in ghee. Others – You will also need asafetida (hing), cumin seeds, fresh ginger, green chilies, sugar, salt, dry mango powder (amchoor), freshly squeezed lime juice, and cilantro (fresh coriander leaves). Adjust the green chilies as per your taste. To make gluten-free chuki hui matar, skip adding asafetida (hing), and to make it vegan, replace ghee with coconut oil. Wash the peas with water, drain the water, and keep the peas aside. Peel a small piece of ginger and grate it using the small hole of a grater. Chop a green chili finely. Gather the remaining ingredients. Once the ghee is hot, add ¼ teaspoon asafetida (hing) and 1 teaspoon cumin seeds and let them crackle for 3-4 seconds. Now add the following ingredients and mix well.
2 cups of shelled green peas ¼ teaspoon sugar ½ teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon dry mango powder
Cover the pan with a lid and cook for 5-6 minutes until the peas are softened. Remove the lid and stir in 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lime juice and 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro. Transfer the peas into serving bowls. Garnish with ginger juliennes and serve hot.
