Nimona, A Winter Stew That Celebrates Green Peas!
Matar ka nimona — an iconic winter dish and my grandmother’s speciality.
Made across kitchens of the Hindi heartland, nimona is believed to have originated in Uttar Pradesh.

Its preparation includes thoroughly frying ground peas with spices, and simmering them until the rogan (oil) rises to the top. The result is a thick dal-like dish, with soft, new potatoes nestled within.
Will you try my Nimona recipe?

Food is not simply stuff that people eat when they are hungry. Food is awesome, delicious, inventive, colorful, inspiring, and so much more. Food binds us together. You have no idea how much it means to me when you tell me that you made a recipe and loved it. My heart fills with joy. Literally.
