Note
The original recipe mentions "Few green peas 1 Med." and "chopped onion 1 lb Can stewed tomatoes" within the steps. These have been interpreted as standard quantities: 1 medium onion and 1 can (approx. 14-15 oz) of stewed tomatoes. Adjust to taste.
For added moisture, you can add 1/4 cup of water or beef broth if the mixture seems too thick after adding the tomatoes.
Serve with basmati rice for an authentic Indian flavor profile. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
