    Green peas have been a winter delicacy for long. When you shell really fresh peas, they are so tender and sweet that one ends up eating a lot of them as is. Winter is the perfect time to cook with them. They enhance the flavour of simple every day vegetables like aloo matar, gobhi matar, matar paneer, khoya matar makhana and so on. Matar ka nimona is another favourite of mine. As a matter of fact, I cook with fresh green peas every single day during winter. Today, I am sharing with you the recipe of Matar ki Ghugni or Hare matar ki chaat. This is an incredibly easy snack to make with green peas, and it was commonly made in my home during my childhood.

    matar ki chaat

    In fact, it was made on most evenings. It is a pretty simple recipe and if you haven't tried it, you must try making this matar ki ghugni that is very popular in UP homes.

    Instructions
     

    • You can boil the peas in advance and keep. I prefer to cook them raw. Heat oil in a pan. Tip in cumin seeds and allow to sputter.
    • Add in the ginger and chopped green chillies. Saute for a minute. Then add green peas. Mix well. Cover and cook till peas are tender. I prefer mine a bit crunchy.
    • Add coriander powder and lemon juice. Adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot garnished with coriander leaves and sev.

    Notes

    1. Fresh green peas work better here, but you can use frozen peas too. Use the tender, sweet variety.
    2. You can add chilli powder or chaat masala if you prefer it to be spicier.
    3. I serve with crunchy sev as my addition to the recipe. The traditional one does not include sev.

      Ghughni with fresh peas sounds healthier and lighter. In Bengal and Assam, they make ghughni chaat with dried white peas, somewhat similar to ragada of Mumbai.

      Believe it or not, I have never heard of Ghugni , nor tasted it, obviously! With fresh peas in season I hope to rustle up a bowlful of Ghugni for myself soon. The pics looks so tempting and the recipe super easy to follow!

      Seems so yummy and simple. I don’t get sev here though and I buy frozen peas but I might still try with that and see what the outcome is

      How lucky to eat peas every day. They are my favourite too but sadly tops my husband’s hate list. So I can only have peas every now and then. This chaat looks incredibly easy to make almost like our vatana usal which is my all time favourite. That’s eaten best with hot puri ….. but I can only dream about this calorific treat. Will try this one tea time before the winter is over….

      Honestly, I'm not a big fan of peas. Something about its taste puts me off. I do eat them once in a while in combination with other vegetables. But, I have a feeling I might enjoy this easy and delicious looking recipe. I'll try them with frozen peas this weekend.
