Snow Pea Sprout Curry

Snow Pea Sprout Curry is simple and yet delicious curry made by cooking snow pea sprout with onion, tomato , ginger garlic and regular Indian spices. It can be enjoyed with rotla, bhakri or dhebra.

In Bharuch (Gujarat, India), we get vaal na vaidaa (Lima bean sprout), and we make curry similar to the one that I am sharing today. Here in Sydney, I bring the snow pea sprout to make salads. I sometimes also use it to make thepla or muthia. Whenever I chop the snow pea sprout, the smell released from it reminds me of the vaal na vaidaa that I used to get in Bharuch, India.

So then i thought of making the curry from the snow pea sprout as the one that I used to make with vaal na vaidaa in Bharuch. When I made the snow pea sprout curry, my father in law (Chetan Shah) and mother In law (Geeta Shah) were super impressed and then from then on I have started to make this curry on a regular basis. My father in law would prefer to have it for dinner or lunch with Bajra na rotla. You can also enjoy the curry with bhakri or dhebra.

I have served the snow pea sprout curry with palak na dhebra / Spinach flatbread, dal tadka, potato chips nu shaak, pickled chillies for a simple and nutritious dinner.

Friends do try this simple unusual curry and do share your valuable feedback with me.
