And the version that I have grown up with, did not use tomatoes or onions. It was made with garlic, ginger and a different version of the garam masala quite similar to what you have outlined. It has a unique taste of its own. We used to make it with Wadis or Potatoes. Thanks for posting the recipe. As I have lived away from home for more than 15 years and I was wondering about the basic proportions. <i>Hi Nupur, Thanks for your informative comment.

It is a traditional favourite cooked through the winter months accross the state. The recepie you came across and describe here is very unusual, for the Nimona i have seen cooked in my home is more like a dhal than a curry. It derives its dominant flavours from tender garlic shoots, corriander that are ground along with the peas, and a spicy badi or mungadi. <i>Hello Chandan, Thank you for your informative comment. It would be my pleasure to try your family version of Nimona at my home. Would you please write the detailed recipe here. Thanks. - Indira</i> hi

I used peas,potatos,carrot(cut into cubes) and beans, and the outcome is so good. We enjoyed our dinner today! <i>Indira replies: Glad to hear that you tried and liked this recipe.

It looks like mattar keema (Peas and Mince). It seems the texture of the ground peas imitates the texture of meat mince. Brilliant idea for vegetarians. It looks delicious. I will definetely try to make this. What a wonderful idea? It looks like mattar keema (Peas and Mince). It seems the texture of the ground peas imitates the texture of meat mince.

I was hesitant because of the number of steps in the prep work but since my husband seemed to like the recipe, I made it yesterday. The dish was fantastic - very tasty. Mine came a bit watery though but still tasted good. We had with chapathi and also with egg fried rice and the dish went very well with both. Thanks for continuing to post great recipes. Hi Indira,
