An easy dish that I often make when I have people around – Spicy, Salty and a wee bit Sour, the Indian Spiced Peas makes a great snack or side dish!

Indian Spiced Peas somethingiscooking.com

Masala Matar or Indian Spiced Peas is one of the yummiest ways to spice up the peas for your next meal. The best part is that you can serve this as a snack, a healthy alternative to your Pringles or Popcorns.

I make them without adding onions or tomatoes. However, you can add these ingredients to get a more side-dishy style. They taste fabulous as which way.

Masala Matar is often prepared during winters as peas are available in abundance during this season. Of course, you can prepare this dish using frozen peas as well.

This recipe can be tweaked to your suiting. I have not added red chili powder but instead used green chilies for the hotness.

    In our family we call these ‘hare mattar ki guguni’ and my chachi makes the best of these in the world. I absolutely love her version of this dish and insist on eating only this whenever I visit her.

    I make sundal every day and love fresh peas. Luckly we get it in our market the year around. Very good for health–and i like that you added green chilis–really enhances the taste like chili powder never can! Add a dash of lemon and yay! Yummy!

    That sounds like a very yummy way to have peas. I would probably have to turn down the heat a little since I am a wuss, but this sounds tasty.

    Do we boil the peas before adding it to the pan?

    Uncooked peas gives out a weird odor and I’m not a fan of its taste too. But when perfectly cooked, it is delicious!

    A party snack? Now isn’t that stretching it a bit too far? We serve this as a side dish for a meal.

    One version of this was pretty much all we could afford during college days when money was tight… Still remember it. It would be around 15 rupees
