  • ¼ cup green peas
  • 1 ¼ cup water
  • ½ teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  • Boil the green peas in 1 ¼ cup of water.
  • As water comes to boil turn heat to low and continue cooking until peas are tender.
  • Turn off the heat and set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a saucepan. Test the heat by adding one cumin seed to the oil; if it cracks right away oil is ready. Add black mustard seed and cumin seed.
  • Add mustard seed and cumin seeds as seeds crack, add peanuts and stir for one minute.
  • Add sooji and stir-fry about 3 minutes on medium heat till sooji turns gold brown.
  • Add green peas with water a little at a time, otherwise water will splatter.
