Amazing Peas (indian) image

This recipe is adapted from Madhur Jaffrey's World Vegetarian. It is originally titled "Green Peas with Coconut and Cilantro" but that sounds booooring. I've yet to meet someone who dosen't like the amazing peas.

This recipe was a disaster! The peas were overcooked and the sauce was burnt.

I didn't like this recipe at all. The peas were mushy and the sauce was too sweet.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The peas were a little bland and the sauce was a bit too spicy for my taste.
