ABOUT Peas Shorba RECIPE

Shorba is one of various kinds of soup or stew found in national cuisines across the Balkans, North Africa, Eastern Europe, Central Asia, South Asia and the Middle East. Here i'm presenting peas shorba.

Ingredients Serving: 2

2 cup green peas (fresh or frozen)
1 medium Red Onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic
1 inch piece Ginger
1 green chilli
1 tablespoons chopped Mint
1 tablespoons chopped Cilantro
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
2 Bay Leaves
1 Cardamom pod
1 inch piece cinnamon
salt as per taste

Instructions

In a large pot, bring about 4 cups of water to boil. Add half teaspoon of salt and bring to a boil again.
Add the green peas to the boiling water and cook for about 5 minutes or until the peas are almost cooked. Strain and dunk into cold water immediately to cool.
When they have cooled, strain and transfer to a food processor and make a puree with approx. half cup water. You can either make a smooth puree or leave it a bit chunky like I did.
Next, heat the ghee in a large saucepan.
Add the cumin seeds, cardamom, cinnamon and bay leaves. When the spices release aroma, add the chopped onion.
While the onion is frying, make a paste of the ginger, garlic, green chilli, mint and cilantro. When the onion has browned, add the ginger-garlic paste and fry till the raw smell is gone.
Next add the peas puree and about 1 cup water. You can add more water, as per the desired consistency.
Add salt as per taste, mix well and bring to a boil.
Let it simmer for a minute. Take off the heat and serve immediately.
