Ingredients to make Creamy Phool Makhana Curry:

2 cups phool makhana or lotus seeds, 1 cup green peas, 1 medium onion chopped, 3 tsp vegetable oil like canola, 5 cloves of garlic (minced very fine), 2 tsp ginger paste, 1 tbsp coriander powder, 1 tsp garam masala, ½ to 1 tsp red chilli powder or paprika or cayenne, ½ tsp turmeric, 1 cup tomato puree, 1/4 cup kasoori methi (dried fenugreek leaves), 1/3 cup of cashews, salt to taste, 1/4 cup chopped coriander leaves

Steps to make Creamy Phool Makhana Curry:

1. Heat 1 tsp of the oil in a cast-iron or nonstick skillet and add the lotus seeds. Stir-fry them, stirring constantly, until they turn golden-brown and crisp. Take care not to burn them.

2. Put the lotus seeds in a bowl and set aside.

3. Make a paste with the cashews and 1 cup of water and set aside.

4. Heat the remaining oil in a skillet.

5. Add the onion and saute over medium heat until it turns transparent, about 5 minutes.

6. Add the ginger and garlic and saute for a few seconds.

7. Add the powdered spices and saute another 30 seconds.

8. Add the tomato puree and mix thoroughly. Cook, stirring frequently, until the tomatoes darken and the oil begins to leave the sides.

9. Add the lotus seeds, the frozen green peas, and the kasoori methi. Give it all a good stir and a cup of water.

10. Once the curry comes to a boil, add the cashew paste and salt to taste. If the curry is too thick, add some water.

11. Dab in a dash of lemon juice for some added complexity. Garnish with chopped coriander.

Serve warm!
