This is a simple recipe that my grandma (nani) used to make for my mom when she was a kid. My mom made it throughout my childhood and still continues to make it, so it’s very familiar to me. It’s called sukhi matar anda sabzi which basically translates to dry peas and egg cooked in gravy. You can just call this Indian green peas and eggs if you want. 😉 Indian green peas and eggs is a super simple dish – something that my mom would throw together when we needed a filling snack or when we needed to use up extra hard-boiled eggs. In fact, we often make this stir-fry for Easter, when we have plenty of colorful dyed hard-boiled eggs to use up. You guys really seem to like my Indian Shakshuka recipe – probably because it’s so darn easy to make, so I wanted to share some more super simple recipes. I have several more recipes like the shakshuka and like this Indian green peas dish this that I’ll be sharing over the next few weeks! If you haven’t been following along with my Indian Onion Masala Series where I share recipes that call for exact amounts of this magical masala, then make sure to visit my “Onion Masala Headquarters” where you can learn all about this masala sauce and find more tasty recipes that use it.

This Indian stir-fry is what I like to call a “dry curry.” Dry curries are nice because they’re a little different. I feel like most Indian recipes – at least, most of the popular ones – call for a lot of gravy. While I do love gravy, sometimes it’s nice to change things up. This is the type of dish that you’ll find Indian parents making for their kids. It’s a quick dish made with humble ingredients: frozen peas and hard-boiled eggs. Making this dish couldn’t be easier. You stir-fry (frozen) green peas in onion masala and spices, then top it with sliced hard-boiled eggs. Garnish with paprika and cilantro and you’re done. Well, don’t forget to carefully layer the egg slices on top of green peas – according to my mom, presentation is key to this dish and I have to agree. Like this recipe?
