broccoli and peas in tomato sauce

I really love this Bengali subji, but for some, the cardamon included may be an acquired taste.

 

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 bunch chopped broccoli, washed and steamed
• 1 cup fresh peas, rinsed and steamed
• 8 blended plum tomatoes
• 1/4 t mustard seeds
• 1 t cumin seeds
• 1 T grated ginger root
• 1/4 t hing
• 1 t mixture of equal parts turmeric, ground cardamom and ground cinnamon
• 4 T ghee

PREPARATION 

1. Chaunce in hot ghee the mustard seeds and cumin seeds and ginger until the ginger browns and mustard seeds pop.
2. Add hing until the smell comes out. Add the mixture of turmeric, cardamom and cinnamon, followed immediately with the blended tomatoes.
3. Cook until tomato thickens a bit. Add the steamed vegies.

Offer to Krishna with freshly cooked rice and or puris.
