Whole Pea Masala

Home   Recipes for Pulses, Grains, Seeds, Flakes, Flour, Ferments...   Whole Pea Masala
Asian Blue Peas Dried Peas Grains and Seeds Hearty Peas Pulses Vegan Vegetarian Whole Peas Yellow Peas

by Josiah Meldrum March 02, 2015

Remaining firm when cooked, Hodmedod's British-grown Whole Yellow and Blue Peas have a texture and delicate sweet flavour that is ideal in South Asian cookery.

Serves 3-4 as a side dish

Ingredients

  • 200g dried Whole Yellow or Blue Peas
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 2 tsp cumin seed
  • ½ tsp asafoetida
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 3cm ginger, grated
  • 1 green chilli, finely chopped
  • ½ tsp turmeric
  • 1 tsp garam masala
  • Juice and zest of ½ a lemon
  • Coriander, chopped
  • Salt

Method

  1. Wash the dried whole yellow or blue peas and soak overnight.
  2. Rinse, cover with water and bring to the boil. After 15 minutes cooking add the turmeric and a little salt, simmer until soft – about 60 minutes.
  3. In a separate pan heat the oil. Add the cumin seed and asafoetida. When the cumin starts to brown and get fragrant add the onions: cook until they are translucent. Add garlic, ginger and green chilli. After a few minutes add the garam masala then the peas in their cooking water – add more water to get the consistency you prefer. Adjust the salt to taste. Cook for 5 minutes.
  4. Take off the heat and stir in lemon juice, a little zest and the chopped coriander.

Antalyan Style Piyaz of Flageolet Beans

November 07, 2025

Piyaz is a traditional Turkish bean salad, but in Antalya it takes on a unique and beloved twist. More than just a simple side, it becomes a hearty, flavourful dish in its own right, rich with tahini, olive oil and cumin, layered with herbs, eggs and tomatoes. Creamy flageolet beans form the base, while the tang of lemon and vinegar keeps it bright and refreshing. Finished with fragrant dill, parsley, and a sprinkle of sumac, this is a salad that’s as satisfying as it is vibrant, perfect served alongside grilled dishes or enjoyed simply with good bread.

An old-fashioned classic, upgraded for more plant diversity, more fibre, and, dare I say it, more flavour too! Instead of using just oats in crumble bars, try our four grain muesli base. You can make the crumble bars with either a caramelly date filling or a fresh, tart berry filling.
