1 cup fresh fenugreek leaves (methi), chopped

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon garam masala

1. Heat the Oil:
In a non-stick pan, heat the olive oil over medium flame. Allow the cumin seeds to crackle after adding them.

Toss in the green chili and finely chopped onion. Sauté until the onions are golden brown, about 5-6 minutes.
3. Add Spices:
Mix in the turmeric powder, ground cumin,coriander powder, and salt. Stir for 2 minutes to ensure the spices are well combined and aromatic.
4. Add Peas and Fenugreek Leaves:
Stir in the green peas and let them cook for 3-4 minutes. Next, add the chopped fenugreek leaves and cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.

If you need to keep it from sticking, add a little water. Cover the pan and allow the vegetables to cook for 5-7 minutes or until the peas are soft and the methi is well-cooked.

Sprinkle garam masala over the dish and mix thoroughly. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves.
